UK Gov to negotiate with EU possible retainment of EU Citizenship

Petition Details

People born in the UK after it joined the EEC in 1973 are not only born with automatic British citizenship but also with EU citizenship and should be allowed to keep that citizenship (in an opt-out style scheme) regardless of whether the UK leaves the bloc or not.

Additional Information

A briefing paper from the House of Commons Library titled 'Brexit & EU Citizenship' questions whether EU citizenship can be lost.

Clauses within EU law define an individuals citizenship status but it has been noted that citizenship cannot simply be taken away through a majority decision, especially against the will of the individual. The only way in which citizenship would cease to exist is if the EU itself were to dissolve.
