Official visit by Antonio TAJANI, EP President to the United Kingdom: statement by the President

SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, The message is a possitive message, we want to stand to the citizens' rights. The European citizens living in the UK and UK citizens living the European Union. This is the most important message, we want to work together. Ms. May underlined her position, which is similar to our position. We will both work in favour of our citizens. It is a good start but now we need to work on the implementation. With Mr. Barnier, our negotiator, we work in this direction because the position of the European Parliament is totally in favour of the citizens' rights, the European citizens living in the UK and the UK citizens living in the European Union.
