Prime Minister Theresa May will today formally invoke Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, notifying the European Council that the UK will be leaving the EU no later than early 2019. The declaration kicks off a two-year negotiation period during which the UK will attempt to reach agreement on the terms of its departure from, and future trading arrangements with, the EU.
The Interel team has put together the following infographics which set out both the timeline of key events between now and the point when the UK formally ceases to be a member of the EU, and an analysis of the key negotiators from the European institutions, the UK, Germany and France.
