Proposed Rights
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2017 2:31 pm
So, after today's "sort of" an agreement regarding the rights of both EU citizens in UK and UK citizens in the EU after Brexit, some of you may be interested in the draft agreement which affects those of us living in Spain.
I would point out, in particular, paragraph 19 of the attached document dated today:
Citizens' Rights-A Detailed Consensus
For those who don't like opening PDF files, the relevant bit is:
Individuals will maintain all their rights, including equal treatment, within the limits of Articles 18, 21, 45 and 49 TFEU, Article 24 of Directive 2004/38/EC and Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 including rights of workers, self-employed, students and economically inactive citizens with respect to social security, social assistance, health care, employment, selfemployment and managing an undertaking (for example, the right to equal treatment in the participation in the capital of EU companies or firms), education (including higher education) and training, social and tax advantages. Individuals will maintain all their rights, including equal treatment, within the limits of Articles 18, 21, 45 and 49 TFEU, Article 24 of Directive 2004/38/EC and Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 including rights of workers, self-employed, students and economically inactive citizens with respect to social security, social assistance, health care, employment, selfemployment and managing an undertaking (for example, the right to equal treatment in the participation in the capital of EU companies or firms), education (including higher education) and training, social and tax advantages.
Paragraph 20 goes on to say that "Life-long protection for the rights holder is guaranteed by the Withdrawal Agreement."
Also note that these rights will apply to anyone who has residence on the specified date which is stated as the date of the UK withdrawal. Anyone taking out residency after that date will not be accorded the same rights. The actual date is not shown as we do not know the actual date UK will withdraw, whether it will be March 2019 or whether the real withdrawal date will be after a transition period.
