What is articale 50?

Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union outlines the process for a member state to withdraw from the European Union. It allows a country to notify the European Council of its intention to leave, initiating a negotiation period to establish the terms of the exit. The article emphasizes the importance of reaching an agreement on future relations, and if no agreement is reached within two years, the country would automatically exit the EU, unless an extension is agreed upon.
