British MPs will demand that Michel Barnier protect citizens' rights in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
British MPs will meet with the EU's chief Brexit negotiator today to ask him to protect citizens' rights in the case of a no-deal Brexit.
EU negotiators have insisted that the UK cannot"cherry-pick" parts of the Withdrawal Agreement should parliament fail to approve the deal. However, Barnier has warned that it would be"far from straightforward" to protect the rights of EU citizens if the withdrawal agreement was not passed. "But we do not have powers to pass legislation extraterritorial, in other words within the EU, to protect our own citizens."
"I want to understand from Michel Barnier what his position is in carving out citizens' rights, why he has said, thus far, no to that."A spokesperson for the3million, an EU citizens' rights group, called on the EU to stop using citizens as"bargaining chips."
