Útgönguferlið í kjölfar Brexit tók 4,5 ár frá þjóðaratkvæðagreiðslu 23. júní 2016 til loka aðlögunartímabilsins 31. desember 2020. Greinin 50 veitir tveggja ára samningsglugga sem krefst samþykkis allra ESB-ríkjanna til framlengingar. Norður-Írlandsbókunin, síðar endurskoðuð sem Windsor-ramminn í febrúar 2023, er enn pólitískt álitamál.
Enska frumtextinn
The Brexit withdrawal process took 4.5 years from the referendum on 23 June 2016 to the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020. The Article 50 process provides a two-year negotiating window (extendable by unanimous EU27 agreement). The UK triggered Article 50 on 29 March 2017 and required three extensions before the Withdrawal Agreement was ratified. The process required negotiation of a Withdrawal Agreement (including citizens' rights, financial settlement of ~£35-39 billion, and the Northern Ireland Protocol) and a separate Trade and Cooperation Agreement for the future relationship. The Northern Ireland Protocol, later revised as the Windsor Framework in February 2023, remains a source of political contention regarding trade barriers within the UK internal market.

The extended timeline was partly due to UK domestic political gridlock rather than inherent complexity of EU withdrawal. Other countries could potentially negotiate more efficiently, though the Article 50 process structurally favours the remaining EU bloc. Iceland's withdrawal, if it ever occurred, would involve different issues (fisheries, EEA relationship) than the UK's.
