Brexit talks to include plan for UK nationals to keep EU citizenship theguardian.com

European parliament’s chief negotiator says associate citizenship would be ‘on the table’ for talks over Britain’s withdrawal from EU. A plan to allow UK nationals to keep a form of EU citizenship after Brexit will be one of the options available in forthcoming talks over Britain’s departure, the European parliament’s chief negotiator has said.

The proposal for people from former EU nations to be granted “associate citizenship” was first raised last month by Charles Goerens, a liberal MEP from Luxembourg, meaning British citizens who opt in could still travel freely and live on the continent.
