Since the result of the referendum last summer, the UK government has been clear how important it is that we secure, as early as possible, both the rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in EU Member States.
We are now seeking to provide EU citizens with certainty about their future by publishing this white paper which sets out our offer to them.
Our negotiations with the EU have begun and we expect the EU and its Member states to make the same commitment to British nationals living in Europe.
