Brexitdeal: The EU and the UK have reached an agreement on a new partnership. From 1 January 2021, new rules will apply when doing business with the UK. Citizens will also notice changes. Are you travelling (for essential purposes) from/to the Netherlands or the UK? Different and more in-depth customs rules and controls will apply.

With the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020, EU rules and regulations will no longer apply to the United Kingdom.

As per 1 January 2021 the Covid-19 EU entry ban for travelers from non-EU/EEA and non-Schengen countries will therefore also apply for British nationals from the United Kingdom. As a result, British nationals from the United Kingdom will not be permitted entry to the Netherlands for non-essential purposes.

Bicycle sales soared to 70+% in 2020 and sales continue steadily. Where e-bikes were virtually absent from Britain’s roads before the pandemic, sales are up by 40% compared to 2019. So have the sales of e-scooters, albeit private e-scooter use being formally illegal for now. A wide e-scooter rental trial is now rolled out across London (with Dutch company Todd as one of the providers).
