The *** and the EU have reached a new deal setting out post-Brexit relations on areas including fishing rights, trade and defence.

The full details will be set out later.

But here’s a look at what we know is in the deal.

FishingA new deal will keep the current status quo giving EU boats continued access to *** waters until 2038, the BBC understandsThe 2020 Brexit deal, which saw the *** regain 25% EU fishing quotas, was due to run out next yearThe *** will continue to agree yearly quotas with the EU and Norway and issue licences to control who fishes in its watersLater, the government is due to unveil a £360m “fishing and coastal growth fund” to invest in coastal communities

Farming exportsIn return for extending current fishing rules, the *** has secured a deal to reduce checks on food exports to the EUOfficials will drop some routine border checks on animal and plant shipments to and from the EUThe new sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) agreement means the *** can sell burgers and sausages back into the EU for the first time since Brexit

SecurityA formal ***-EU defence and security pact has been establishedBoth sides have been pushing for closer cooperation and information-sharing since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine and Donald Trump has re-entered the White HouseThe government says the agreement “paves the way” for ***-based arms firms to access the Security Action for Europe (Safe) – a £150bn EU fund providing loans for defence projects

Carbon taxThe *** and EU will link their carbon markets to avoid taxes on carbon-intensive goods like steel and cement travelling between the *** and EUThe *** launched its own carbon system after exiting the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) The government says it will save £800m in taxes and shield British steel from EU tariffs, thanks to a ***-only deal worth £25m a year

Passport e-gatesBritish holidaymakers will be able to use e-gates at more European airportsWhen Brexit ended freedom of movement, it changed the rules for people travelling to European countries. Now, British passport holders can’t use “EU/EEA/CH” lanes at EU border crossingsA new passport system will make it easier for *** pets to travel, ending the need for repeat vet certificates

Still up for negotiationThe BBC understands some key aspects are still subject to further negotiation – such as the idea of a youth mobility schemeWhat finally makes it into this package will set the agenda for the next set of post-Brexit negotiations early next year
