European Union - Brexit

'Article 50' deals with the procedure and timetable for a member state - for example the UK - to leave the European Union (EU).


Article 50 is part of the Lisbon Treaty of 2007.

It outlines a two-year timetable for negotiations, once a member state has notified its intention to withdraw from the EU.

The notification is often described as 'triggering' Article 50.
