In fact, it seems to suggest that there would have to be separate treaties : one on the details of withdrawal, and one on the future relationship. In practice, the withdrawal deal and the treaty on that future relationship would be closely linked. Probably the withdrawal treaty would, among other things, aim to regulate a transition period before the treaty on the future relationship entered into force. Article 50 does not legally oblige the remaining EU to sign a free trade agreement with the UK.
Equally, while Article 8 of the same Treaty requires the EU to have good relations with neighbouring countries, it does not require it to sign a free trade deal with them, or go into other specific details on what the relationship should be.

But this does not rule out the possibility that the UK will leave without a deal on 29 March. First, the other 27 EU member states must unanimously approve Mrs May's request. The EU and the UK reach a provisional agreement. It includes a transition period until 31 December in which all EU rules continue to apply.
It also covers the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. This means that phase 2 of the negotiations can begin. In phase 2, the EU and the UK continue to negotiate the withdrawal agreement.
But they also start discussing a transition period and exploring their future relationship. The UK triggers Article This means negotiations on the UK leaving the EU can begin. The EU and the UK have two years to reach an agreement. The Brexit referendum is held in the UK. A majority of voters This is also mentioned in the conclusions of my paper.
Dear Markus, thank you for the comments and the link to the paper, which I will look at. However let me make one clarification. By that I mean that several countries might try to escape part of the EU obligations by simply ignoring them. Article 7 allows rights to be withdrawn from individual members, but only with unanimity among all other members. As I think we have seen recently with Hungary and Poland, this means there is a risk EU members can club together to defy the EU on particular issues.
Does anyone know? The EU is a supranational, as explained by Todd Huizinga, amongst others. It is an organisation which has become an institution. Conspiracies and conspiracy theories aside, it is by now widely known that the lead-up to the development of this hegemon-in-the-making accelerated after WWII, but has a more or less continuous connection with pre-democracy and pre- The Treaty of Westfalen European elites clinging to old and deep-rooted ideas about how society should be run and who should be in charge.
It is not only a deep-rooted leftover from times past, but inherent in the human psyche in the struggle for survival of the fittest. People organising themselves on a democratic basis predates Greek democracy. It was extant amongst the tribes along the North Sea coast but did not survive due to ongoing sociopolitical and associated developments. The birth of democracy in its modern European form and subsequent distribution across the globe as a working system of government never did extinguish the very human trait of the struggle for supremacy between vying groups of politically active and astute managers of people and peoples by means of psychological control.
The EU is controlled and run by a kind of people much in evidence since the western welfare state matured and started eating itself. They are the kind of people who will never give up trying to keep control once they got it or trying to regain control after they lost it. Look at the Brexit trip from the time the referendum was first mooted.
They tried every trick in the book to stop the British people deciding, and after it was decided did everything possible to stop it being effected. At the moment the EU is re-organising its defences as the Tories had to give up sabotaging Brexit. It remains to be seen what Boris will make of it. Without continuous political pressure from Leavers and other democrats the result is likely to be some form of Brino.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. This is a lesson which, evidently, needs to be recognised and worked through time and again. That is due to human nature, much like the innate need for some to emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, politically, etc. It was ever thus. The EU will evolve, but how and what it will turn into depends entirely on to how the incumbents, now being gradually replaced on purpose by new entrants from afar, wish to partake of the process of sociopolitical democracy.
Indeed, it depends on whether the incumbents will be motivated enough to be bothered at all. The voting patterns suggest no more than a third of the electorate which actually rolls up to vote is sufficiently exercised to want to force the relentless drive for domination by the old elites back into the age-old bog of their own making.
