<p>We have carefully considered the recommendations found in the report by Professor
Volker Roeben, ‘The feasibility of the associate EU citizenship for UK citizens post-Brexit’.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>However, our understanding of the EU treaty provisions is that only
citizens of EU Member States are able to hold EU citizenship. Therefore, when the
UK ceases to be a member of the European Union, British nationals will no longer hold
EU citizenship, unless they hold dual nationality with another EU Member State.</p><p><strong>
</strong></p><p>However, we know that in the future, many UK nationals will wish to
continue to travel, live and work within the European Union, just as EU citizens will
still wish to do so in the UK. We look forward to discussing our future relationship
with the European Union, one which will work in the interest of both the UK and the
EU.</p><p> </p>
