Michel Barnier, the EUs chief Brexit negotiator, is holding a press conference now. He says the EU has built its position together. The agreement has been agreed. Boris Johnson will present it to the EU27 later at the summit. He says the text should provide legal certainty, especially for citizens.

Here are extracts from the letter from Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European commission, to Donald Tusk, president of the European council. (See 10.38am.)
As regards the withdrawal agreement itself, negotiations focused on the protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland [ie, the backstop] and sought to identify a mutually satisfactory solution to address the specific circumstances on the island of Ireland. The negotiators also discussed the political declaration setting out the framework for the future relationship between the European Union and the United Kingdom. Their aim was to adjust the political declaration in a way that reflects the different level of ambition now sought by the government of the United Kingdom for the countrys future relationship with the European Union
I believe it is high time to complete the withdrawal process and move on, as swiftly as possible, to the negotiation on the European Unions future partnership with the United Kingdom.
