Verhofstadt rejected the position of U.K. negotiators led by David Davis that the cut-off point for guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens living in Britain should be March 29, 2017.
“It is good that the British government thinks about the rights of EU citizens in Great Britain,” Verhofstadt said. “But it’s strange that British chief negotiator David Davis only wants to grant these rights to those who entered before March 29.”
The U.K. may agree to demands that the final date should be the day of Brexit in 2019, the Financial Times reported last week, citing unidentified government officials.
