The EU and the UK have "turned the page" and begun a new chapter with the signing of a wide-ranging deal on post-Brexit relations.
Sandro Gozi, an Italian MEP and chair of the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly, told BBC Newshour that the agreement was in the interest of both sides.
While acknowledging the UK's economic challenges since Brexit, Gozi says he hopes for improved relations under the new Prime Minister following the recent EU-UK summit.
"Today, we turned the page, we've opened a new chapter... this commitment is absolutely in the interest of both sides," he says.
