British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker praised their agreed withdrawal deal on Thursday, urging parliaments on both sides of the Channel to help get it over the line.
Now that the deal has been drafted it will be down to lawmakers in Westminster and Brussels to have the final say.
"This deal provides certainty, where Brexit creates uncertainty," said Juncker. He added that "the deal is not about us -- the deal is about people and peace."
If the deal is approved by October 31, both sides will start work on it's implementation the following day on November 1, "without interruption." said Juncker.
The leaders had warm words for each other, Juncker thanking Johnson for his "excellent relations." And Johnson said: "We are solid European, neighbors, friends and supporters."
The brief statement was followed by a flurry of questions from reporters -- none of them addressed -- before Juncker held up his hands and offered his final thought.
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has said the new deal agreed by the United Kingdom and the European Union on Thursday does not amount to a proper Brexit.
Farage, one of the most prominent campaigners for the "Leave" camp, has warned that the UK will never fully break free from the EU if UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's deal is approved.
