The Brexit deal marks a new beginning of a complex relationship in which Britain and the EU will have to learn to live together differently.

This is the new institutional infrastructure set up by the treaty. New Partnership Council, 19 specialised committees, 4 working groups.
Each committee meets at least once a year. So, at least 21 new meetings between Britain and the EU every year. This excludes the institutional structures under the Withdrawal Agreement and the Northern Ireland Protocol.
I don’t want people to draw the wrong conclusion from this: it’s important to have structures for ongoing cooperation. Committee structures are common in FTAs. My point is that the deal isn’t the end and it’ll entail a whole new way of engaging btw UK & EU, and one to get used to
