MEPs ratify post-Brexit trade deal
By EUobserver
The European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favour of the post-Brexit trade agreement between the UK and the EU, clearing a key hurdle in the ratification process. MEPs approved the deal by 660 votes to five, with 32 abstentions, the parliament said on Wednesday. The agreement will give a framework to relations between the bloc and Britain, which voted to end its 47 years of EU membership five years ago.
