Denmark aims to safeguard British citizens' rights in hard Brexit scenario
- Country:
- Denmark
- United Kingdom
Denmark's government on Wednesday proposed a law that will temporarily pass on virtually all rights for the 18,000 British citizens living in Denmark should Britain leave the EU without a withdrawal agreement. "There is of course still hope that the Britons will approve the agreement negotiated by the UK government with the EU," Integration Minister Inger Stojberg said in a statement.
She said the new law would ensure that UK citizens currently living in Denmark would not "get tangled up" in case of a no-deal scenario. The new law, which still needs to be approved by a majority in the parliament, is expected to take effect on March 30, the day after Britain leaves the bloc.
