is used intransitively (without an object) with about, on, to, upon, and with, or with a that-clause, and transitively (with an object) to mean 'to arrange or settle (a thing in which various interests are concerned)'; there are examples of this transitive use in the Old English (up to 1150)D from the 16th century. In the 20th century, another transitive use, equivalent to 'agree to; approve' became common in British English. This use is sometimes disapproved of but without any good reason, since the only difference is that one party rather than several is involved in the decision. Examples:

The European Commission yesterday agreed a supplementary budget for this year which would use up every single European currency unit (ECU) available to the EEC budget—Times, 1983

You agree a price with someone but you must be aware that you might be doing business with that person over the next year and that leaves you wide open to any change in the exchange rate—Daily Post (Liverpool), 2007.
