The European Commission has published an updated version of the Brexit treaty ; however , certain issues remain unresolved . Another is the issue of the rights of citizens arriving in Britain after March 29th, 2019 but before the end of the transition period which is set at Dec 31st, 2020. The draft treaty does not address how to create a physical border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland . Another issue is the rights of citizens and their children who enter Britain after its exit from the EU on 29 March 2019 , but before the end of the transition period . Also , the end date of the transition period of 31 December 2020 is in question , as trade negotiations could take longer and Britain wants the treaty to allow for this .
