EU Ambassadors have unanimously approved the provisional application of the EU-UK trade deal.
The move means the agreement, reached on Christmas Eve, will come into operation on New Year's Day, even though the European Parliament will not give its approval until February.
Members of the British Parliament will vote on Wednesday.
The government here will consider the deal at a cabinet meeting later today, a day ahead of schedule.
