Following a June 2016 referendum, the UK government formally announced that the UK will be withdrawing from the European Union on 29 March 2019. Since this announcement there have been a number of extensions, with the latest withdrawal date being set for 31 January 2020.

  • Certifications and licensing
  • Passenger Protection
