The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow mobility enjoyed before Brexit to millions of young people in a major concession.
Under the envisaged agreement, EU and UK citizens aged between 18 and 30 would be able to stay for up to four years in the destination country, the European Commission said in a statement.
If agreed, a youth mobility scheme visa would be issued in those countries that participate, with possible conditions including a requirement for health insurance and proof of sufficient subsistence funds, a feature of other mobility schemes around the world.
We’d like to hear what people in the EU and in the UK think of the proposal, how they believe they or their family, their sector or business may be affected by such a policy, and whether they have any concerns.
Tell us what you make of the proposal to re-introduce freedom of movement for young people between the UK and EU member states, and how you think this may affect you personally, your sector or your business.
