The bill, which forms the legal basis for Britain’s official departure from the EU on January 31, became law and came into force with the approval of the Queen.
The bill quickly passed the lower house of parliament, the House of Commons, and was sent back to the House of Lords with some changes.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson had used his majority in the House of Commons to cancel the amendments and send the bill back to the House of Lords.
According to the Brexit agreement reached between the United Kingdom and the EU, the country will remain a de facto member of the union until December 31, but will not take part in political decision-making mechanisms. During this transition period, the parties will negotiate to reach a comprehensive free trade agreement.
If the UK wants to extend the transition period, it will need to make a request in June at the latest. However, the Johnson government has declared that it will not request an extension and will completely separate the country from the EU on December 31, regardless of whether an agreement is reached or not.
In the EU referendum held in 2016, the UK decided on Brexit with 52 percent to 48 percent.
