Brexit updates - May 2018
The latest news
• June 19 has been set to hear the appeal in the Amsterdam case which is seeking an ECJ ruling that Britons’ EU citizenship can survive Brexit.
• Liberal Democrats in France have an update and discussion about Brexit in Paris on May 14. See www.tinyurl.com/Brexit-LD.
• British Embassy outreach meetings are being held on: May 15, Limoges; May 23, Cahors; May 28, Périgueux; June 18, Aude; June 26, Nîmes and July 11, Montpellier (see the British Embassy Paris Facebook).
• Several expats on social media have flagged up another unresolved area Brexit could affect – hardship bourses (grants) for pupils and students as they are for French or EU citizens. It thus might make school or university more costly for young Britons.
