The EEA EFTA States Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway have reached an agreement with the UK to protect citizens’ rights in the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
The agreement ensures that EEA EFTA nationals in the UK and UK nationals in the EEA EFTA States will maintain broadly the same rights as today when the UK leaves the EU.
In December we published a separation agreement between the EEA EFTA States and the UK, which covers citizens’ rights as well as other separation issues. This EEA EFTA-UK separation agreement will only apply if the Withdrawal Agreement is concluded between the EU and the UK. This means that citizens´ rights have been secured regardless of the outcome of the negotiations between the EU and the UK.
