"Brits living in Europe warned of post-Brexit 'consequences'", The Local, 14 | 01 | 2020 - Noticia

'Concrete consequences' will follow for EU and UK citizens as Britain does away with freedom of movement, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has warned. ... European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen told ... that the withdrawal agreement provided "certainty" for the one million British citizens currently living in EU countries and the 3.5 million EU citizens living in the UK. But no such freedom of movement will exist after the end of the transition period for other Britons or EU citizens, she stressed. "After the transition period, the UK will be a third country and Brexit will mean changes to those who want to make their future life on either side of the Channel," she said. In the upcoming negotiations, she said, "we will make the citizens' rights our main priority".

"Give Britons free movement across EU, urge MEPs", The Conexion, 14 | 01 | 2020 - Noticia

The European Parliament has "urged" that continuing future free movement across the whole EU should be guaranteed for those British people living in the EU before the end of the transition period - as well as a lifelong ‘right of return’ for EU citizens living in the UK. ... new EU Commission president ... said that ... “...the UK will be a third country after Brexit and then we will have to negotiate. We are very open to do the most because I’m a true believer that as much exchange as possible we should allow to our citizens. But for example if free movement of people is excluded, well there is a trade-off to that. The EU is very open on this and we are strong believers that we both benefitted very much from the free movement, not only of people but goods, services and capital, but those four principles go together. The next weeks and months will show at what point we will end".

"Brexit: Do I really have to give up my British passport to become Spanish?", The Local, 14 | 01 | 2020 - Reportaje

Brexit has caused many Brits in Spain to seriously think about applying for Spanish nationality in order to secure citizenship as a European and guarantee their rights to live in the European Union. ... Researchers studying the impact of Brexit ion Britons living in the EU have told 'The Local' that the number of Brits applying for Spanish nationality is well below the number of those applying for French nationality. They believe one of the main blocking points is the fact Spain does not allow for dual nationality with the UK. ... Legally speaking, Britons applying for Spanish nationality therefore need to renounce their UK nationality. But what does this mean? Are applicants forced to hand over their British passport when they accept Spanish citizenship?

"Pensionistas estrangeiros podem passar a pagar impostos em Portugal", Diheiro Vivo, 10 | 01 | 2020 - Noticia
