The post-Brexit 90-day rule is continuing to be a major problem for Britons while also raising concerns for the European Union.
Now, the European Commission has proposed starting negotiations with the United Kingdom to allow young people to move freely, work and study in both regions after Brexit.

David HollandTo the UK?! I doubt that very much as there are plenty of countries they can choose and not all countries have masses of unemployed youngsters. If they have no education they would come to take the low paid jobs no British wants to do. I guess that would be ok then.
Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyI believe it's the other way around. The UK has more interest in this proposal than EU. They can choose between 27 countries to study and work whilst the UK youngsters haven't got that option at the moment. As for all to stay longer I doubt that very much.
The EU offered the UK to rejoin the Erasmus scheme as a partner country. The UK refused, going its own way with its Turing scheme. A poor alternative with only an average placement of 100 days, so no better than the 90 day rule limit anyway. I doubt the Europeans will continue any more offers until the UK has a change of Government.
The European Union looks for somewhere to employ its surplus young.
Interesting that according to MDB this initiative is coming from the EU to the UK. As I have previously predicted on these pages, and despite much heckling from fellow commentators, I believe there will be an exception made for British nationals when staying longer term within the EU. Time will tell.
