Rejected petition Accept the British citizens' right to opt-in to remain an European Citizen

Today Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s chief negotiator has confirmed the fast-tracked plans that will offer British people the chance to individually opt-in and remain EU citizens as a proposal in Brexit negotiations.

More details

We call the British government to accept this proposal. This will protect 1.2 million people living in the other EU countries as well as help millions of Brits that have close family and cultural links to the European countries remain part of the extended European family.
