Businessmen in the UK have been reflecting on how the new Brexit arrangements between Britain and the EU will affect them.
With a deal approved unanimously Monday by the EU's 27 member states, businesses and travelers have only four days to adapt until the transition period ends on Thursday and the new rules apply.
Eel trader Peter Wood is concerned that extra paperwork for his EU customers will see them look elsewhere for supply and said he would "never voted for Brexit if I knew we were going to lose our job."
UK Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove acknowledged that there would be "bumpy moments" ahead but said the government was working "intensively" to see that businesses were prepared for the first of January.
