The images of Johnson who signed the official agreement after more than two years of negotiations came after a more sober photographic moment for Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel, respectively leaders of the European Commission and the Council. After an unprecedented vote on 4 December 2018, MEPs ruled that the UK government was not respecting Parliament because it refused to give Parliament full legal advice on the consequences of its proposed withdrawal terms. [29] The focus of the consultation was on the legal effect of the "backstop" agreement for Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom with regard to the CUSTOMS border between the EU and the United Kingdom and its impact on the Good Friday agreement that led to the end of the unrest in Northern Ireland, including whether , according to the proposals, the UK would be certain that it would be able to leave the EU in a practical sense. On Wednesday, Germany and France pledged to maintain strong unity in talks with Britain over its future relations with the EU. Following the UK`s bomb scare the day before to violate international law with the EU withdrawal treaty, the Franco-German couple said they were on the same side. The move comes as Britain and the European Union resume talks on a trade deal, with Johnson saying on Sunday that if no deal is reached by October 15, both sides should "accept that and continue." The Northern Ireland Protocol, known as the Irish Backstop, was an annex to the November 2018 draft agreement outlining provisions to avoid a hard border in Ireland after the UK`s withdrawal from the European Union. The protocol provided for a provision of the safety net to deal with the circumstances in which satisfactory alternative arrangements were to come into force at the end of the transition period.

Von der Leyen tweeted: "Charles Michel and I have just signed the agreement on the UK`s withdrawal from the EU, which paved the way for its ratification by the European Parliament." The Prime Minister hailed a "fantastic moment" for the country after embarking on the historic agreement that paves the way for the UK`s exit from the European Union next Friday. Irish Foreign Minister Simon Covney, who was involved in negotiating the initial withdrawal agreement, tweeted that any effort to change it would be "a very ill-advised way of continuing." On 20 December 2019, after the Conservatives won the 2019 British general election, the House of Commons passed second reading of the withdrawal agreement with a 358-234 lead. Following the amendments proposed by the House of Lords and the ping-pong between the two houses, the bill was granted royal approval on 23 January 2020, allowing ratification on the British side. [39] At the session of Parliament, Blackford argued that the new bill was an attacker of London power by the devolved administrations of Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
