This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

This is not something that the UK Government could do alone. You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to try to achieve this outcome in its negotiations with the EU, if that's what you would like to happen.

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