EU disagrees with May proposal for Europeans in Britain

The European Parliament appears to have disagreed with Prime Minister Theresa May's proposal regarding rights that would guarantee European citizens living in Britain following the EU's island country's departure.

In a joint official statement, leaders of the largest parliamentary groups in the EP underline that the package that is put forward gives Europeans less rights than Britishs and creates uncertainty for millions of citizens. However, it does not share London's opinion, which considers the proposal a solid basis for continuing negotiations.

The prime minister's proposal, Theresa May, to grant nearly 3.2 million European citizens a special status after the European Union's release of Britany appears not supported by Brussels, which through a statement notes that this package gives Europeans less rights than Britishs in the island country.

The chief negotiator on the Brex issue by the European Parliament, Guy Verhofstadt, calls the idea May's an unpleasant satire, while demanding that this point be revised. His official statement has also been backed by leaders of the four largest parliamentary groups in the European Parliament. The document emphasises that the Eurodeputs will not support any initiative that strips European citizens of what rights have been recognised so far.
