Here is how companies and citizens might be impacted in case of hard Brexit

  • Country:
  • United Kingdom

LONDON, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Britain has published the second batch of advice to companies and individuals on how to prepare for any disruption that might follow a disorderly Brexit where there is no deal with the European Union.

Below are the highlights:

Driving - British driving licenses may no longer be valid in the European Union - Britons may need to obtain an international driving license to drive in the EU - EU citizens' driving licenses will still be valid in Britain

Mobile roaming - Britons may have to pay more to use their mobile phones in EU countries because caps on data roaming may no longer apply - However, the British government will legislate to impose a cap of 45 pounds per monthly billing period

Passports - British blue passports will start being issued from late 2019 - British citizens will need a passport to have been issued in the last ten years and have at least three months' validity to travel to the EU

Space - The British government will no longer participate in any development of the European Union's Galileo satellite navigation system

Irish border - Irish citizens will still have the right to enter and remain in Britain as now - There will be no routine immigration controls on journeys between Ireland and the United Kingdom

Personal data - British organizations would need to take action to ensure they could continue to receive personal data about their customers in the EU
