UK expats in EU offered pension ‘triple-lock’ and healthcare

By International Adviser, 26 Jun 17

The British government has announced it will maintain reciprocal healthcare rights and the ‘triple lock’ on pensions for the 1.2 million UK citizens currently living in the EU.

The British government has announced it will maintain reciprocal healthcare rights and the 'triple lock' on pensions for the 1.2 million UK citizens currently living in the EU.

‘Lowest possible price’

Dave Spokes, a spokesman for the group Expat Citizen Rights in EU, which represents Brits living in France, told The Guardian: “We find it bizarre that she expects the EU to reciprocate to her offer, which falls short of their own. Does she expect the EU to water down its offer to match hers?

“This is not a negotiation to get the lowest possible price. It is, or should be, a negotiation to gain the best support for real people – a country’s citizens.

“We are not surprised that Mr Juncker has described Theresa May’s offer on citizens rights as ‘not sufficient’,” he added.
