Quick Glance: EU Proposes Mobility Expansion for UK and EU Youth
  • The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow mobility for millions of 18- to 30-year-olds before Brexit.

  • Under the planned agreement, EU and UK citizens aged between 18 and 30 could have the opportunity to stay in the destination country for an extended period.

  • The decision by the commission, which was previously strongly against concessions to the UK, is seen as a breakthrough in UK-EU relations.

  • If approved, millions of young people could come to the UK to fill the gap left by Brexit in the hospitality sector and at universities.

  • The EU suggested that Britain had expressed interest in youth mobility deals with individual member states but favored an EU-wide approach to ensure equal treatment for all members.
