Boris Johnson: We have taken back control of our destiny | EU-UK post-Brexit trade deal reached
Boris Johnson said a deal reached with the European Union will help protect jobs and provide certainty to businesses.
The Prime Minister said the agreement resolves the European question which has "bedevilled" British politics for generations.
In a Downing Street press conference Mr Johnson said the UK had managed to "take back control" as promised in the 2016 Brexit referendum.
The Prime Minister told a No 10 press conference: "We have taken back control of our laws and our destiny. We have taken back control of every jot and tittle of our regulation in a way that is complete and unfettered.
"From January 1 we are outside the customs union and outside the single market.
"British laws will be made solely by the British Parliament interpreted by British judges sitting in UK courts and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice will come to an end."
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said: "We have finally found an agreement.
"It was a long and winding road, but we have got a good deal to show for it.
"It is fair, it is a balanced deal, and it is the right and responsible thing to do for both sides."
She said the deal meant "EU rules and standards will be respected" with "effective tools to react" if the UK side tries to undercut Brussels to seek a competitive advantage.
There will be a five-and-a-half year transition period for the fishing industry, she indicated.
And co-operation will continue on issues including climate change, energy, security and transport.
Mrs von der Leyen said she felt "quiet satisfaction" and "relief" that a deal had been concluded.
"It is time to leave Brexit behind, our future is made in Europe," she added.
