A new era in the UK-EU relationship has started on New Year’s Eve with an 11-month-long transition period that followed Brexit coming to an end.

With the transition period ending, freedom of movement between the UK and the EU member states also ended as the clock stroke midnight in Brussels.

Government minister Michael Gove said Thursday there will be “bumpy moments” until Britain gets used to new rules with the EU.

"I'm sure there will be bumpy moments, but we are there in order to try to do everything we can to smooth the path."

"The nature of our new relationship with the EU -- outside the Single Market and Customs Union -- means that there are practical and procedural changes that businesses and citizens need to get ready for," he said.

"We know that there will be some disruption as we adjust to new ways of doing business with the EU, so it is vital that we all take the necessary action now.”
