THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Article 50 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Whereas:
(1) On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom notified the European Council of its intention to withdraw from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) in accordance with Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), which applies to Euratom by virtue of Article 106a of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community.

(3) On 11 January 2019, the Council adopted Decision (EU) 2019/274 on the signing of the Withdrawal Agreement.
(4) By Decision (EU) 2019/476, the European Council, in agreement with the United Kingdom, initially decided to extend the period under Article 50(3) TEU until 12 April 2019. That period was further extended until 31 October 2019 by European Council Decision (EU) 2019/584, taken in agreement with the United Kingdom.
(5) As a result, the date of entry into force of the Withdrawal Agreement had to be adjusted accordingly, and Decision (EU) 2019/274 was amended by Council Decision (EU) 2019/642 to take account of the adapted text of the Withdrawal Agreement.

On 17 October 2019, the European Council endorsed the amended Withdrawal Agreement.
(7) Decision (EU) 2019/274 should therefore be amended accordingly.
