Rejected petition Accept proposal for UK nationals to keep “associate” EU citizenship after Brexit

European Parliament chief negotiator Guy Verhofstadt has put forward a proposal for British nationals to keep “associate” EU citizenship after Brexit if they individually want to.

More details

Mr Verhofstadt says he says he will be putting the idea on the table in EU negotiations and including it in his mandate. Such a proposal, if enacted would allow Brits to keep some of the benefits of European Union citizenship. This petition simply requests the UK Brexit team and the UK government to work with and accept any such proposal.
