This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Citizenship of the EU is the responsibility of the EU, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a new petition asking the Government to try to negotiate this option for UK citizens as part of the UK's exit from the EU.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
