Abstract
This chapter analyses the implementation of the Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU) of January 2020 (Withdrawal Agreement-WA) during the transition period in 2020 up to the first quarter of 2021. While formally transitory, the WA governs continuing bonds which will endure for decades. The chapter focuses on two fields in which this particularly prevalent, Part Two of the WA and the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland. Both manage permanent situations, the need to protect the reliance of EU citizens on the durability of their rights after moving to the UK or from the UK into the EU, and the need to manage the hybridity of Northern Ireland between Ireland and the UK. Implementing those remnants of EU membership constitutes a permanent struggle. This chapter elaborates the ensuing difficulties and concludes with practical proposals for how to alleviate negative repercussion.
