We welcome the agreement in principle between the European Union and the United Kingdom on the future relationship following the transitional period. This agreement lays the foundations for a new, strong partnership between the member states of the European Union and the United Kingdom, which remains an intrinsic part of Europe. We look forward to the implementation of the agreement and the strengthening of Greek and EU relations with the United Kingdom. Finally, we express our warmest thanks to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the head of the European Commission’s negotiating team, Michel Barnier, for their important contribution to the achievement of the agreement.
