Commission proposed to open negotiations to facilitate youth mobility between the EU and the UK
The European Commission has proposed to open negotiations with the United Kingdom on an agreement to facilitate youth mobility.
The aim is to make it easier for young EU and UK citizens to study, work, and live in each other’s countries. The proposal addresses the decreased mobility between the EU and UK since Brexit, particularly affecting opportunities for cultural, educational, and training exchanges for young people. The agreement would allow young individuals to travel without restrictions on purpose or quotas, with potential stay durations of up to 4 years for EU and UK citizens aged 18 to 30.
The proposal will now be discussed in the Council, and if approved, negotiations will commence.
