Note relating to Brexit
The United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union on the 31 January 2020, and the transition period foreseen under the Withdrawal Agreement ended on 31 December 2020.
“United Kingdom (Northern Ireland)” is however listed as an “EU Country” since, in accordance with the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland, the PIC Regulation continues to apply to that country. “United Kingdom (Great Britain)” is listed as a “Non-EU Country”.
