The United Kingdom House of Commons speaker John Bercow on 16.03.2017 announced that the EU withdrawal bill has received royal assent and has become law. UK Prime Minister Theresa May is now empowered to begin the Brexit process under Article 50 of the EU treaty. According to Article 50 of the EU withdrawal bill, the UK will cease to be a member of the bloc two years after the prime minister notifies the Union.
In June a majority of the citizens of the United Kingdom had voted to leave the EU due to a growing discontent with EU policies, including immigration.
