Dear Reader,

British Prime Minister Theresa May announced the UK’s first post-Brexit tradeagreement with the six members of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) –South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique, Swaziland, Namibia and Botswana. On hermaiden African tour, the British PM also met with Nigeria President MuhammaduBuhari with a view to strengthening ties with the country of nearly 200 million people.In her absence, Brexit continued to dominate headlines in the UK.

Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab told the House of Lords he is confident he can cut adeal on Brexit with the EU before the end of the year. That’s if he can get themeetings he needs with his counterpart, EU negotiator Michel Barnier. Raab hasapparently expressed frustrations to EU officials that Barnier has not made himselfreadily available, reports the Guardian. Barnier however has said the bloc “isprepared to offer a partnership with Britain such as has never been with any otherthird country.”

Deal or no deal, the UK government has ominously published the first in a series oftechnical notes that outline the potential impact of a no deal Brexit.

This week, we analyse eleven key impacts Brexit could have on the life of Britishcitizens living in the EU and EEA countries. We also bring you the story of one Brit’sstruggle to commemorate 30 forgotten British soldiers who died in a militarycampaign in Eastern Europe nearly a century ago.

We hope you enjoy the newsletter!

Eleven things you should know about Brexit citizenship rightsas a Brit in EuropeBy Alex Macbeth (Follow Alex on Twitter)

Now that the UK government has published its first batch of technical notes withguidelines on how citizens and businesses could be affected if Britain exits the EUwithout a deal, it has become easier to get a clearer picture of how the rights ofBritish citizens living in the EU could be affected.

It is important to stress that any of the points discussed below could be subject tochanges before March 2019, although they reflect the current state of play in thenegotiations.

Loss of cross-border free movement rights and restrictions on residency

Future residency rights will be “based on past life choices, where those citizens haveexercised free movement rights by the specified date,” according to the WithdrawalAgreement reached in December 2017 and revised in April 2018 by the UK and theEU. This will effectively curtail the rights to onward movement, and work, in other EUcountries, hitting frontier and highly-mobile workers in particular.

“Citizens will be able to acquire the right to permanent residence (i.e. right toresidence which is no longer subject to conditions such as being a worker or havingsufficient resources) after five years of lawful residence,” states the July 2018summary of the Withdrawal Agreement published by the EU. The deadline for thefive year period will be the currently-set end of the transition period in December2020.

The caveat is that registration will be key to fulfilling these conditions. “Registrationassumes a lot about people’s residency status. Some of the most privileged andprecarious positions are highly mobile,” Michaela Benson, a professor at GoldsmithsUniversity and co-author of the report Next Steps: Implementing a Brexit Deal for UKCitizens Living in the EU-27, told The Local.

As Benson points out, registration is not mandatory in all EU countries for foreign EUcitizens, which means that many people will struggle to retrospectively produce theright documentation.

Restrictions on free movements of pets

Under EU law, pets can currently move freely around the EU if they have a petpassport. While EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has personallyintervened on this issue to pledge that a deal will be reached, EU spokeswomanMina Andreeva offered no timeline or details for when this will be achieved during anEU Commission press briefing on July 27th.

Current European Pet Passport rules state: “For movement between EU countries orfrom non-EU countries vaccination against rabies documented in the pet passport orthe animal health certificate is the sole requirement for dogs, cats and ferrets totravel across EU borders, with certain exceptions.” In addition, “your animal willrequire an electronic microchip or a readable tattoo that has been applied before 3rdJuly 2011 with the same code as the one documented in the passport.” Special ruleson veterinary checks also apply to animals travelling to Finland, Ireland, Malta or theUK. “If you take an animal into the United Kingdom, it must be treated against thetapeworm Echinococcus,” add EU guidelines.

In 2017, 287,016 dogs and 26,480 cats entered the UK from the EU, according tothe UK’s Animal & Plant Health Agency (ALPHA), following a request by The Localunder the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) 2000. The agency does not store dataon the number of pets travelling from the UK to the EU, nor was it able to provideinformation about how future guidelines might change.

The EU does have agreements for facilitating entry of pets from some third partycountries, so it is unlikely that cats and dogs will need to undergo blood tests or gointo quarantine. But a deal would need to be done to safeguard a continuation of thecurrent system.

Limits to use of UK bank accounts by Brits in EEA

The latest technical notes published by the British government include a warning toEuropean Economic Area (EEA)-based customers of UK banks, who “may lose theability to access existing lending and deposit services, insurance contracts (such asa life insurance contracts and annuities) due to UK firms losing their rights topassport into the EEA, affecting the ability of their EEA customers to continueaccessing their services.” The Local France has more on this.

Potential taxes on transfers of UK pensions to QROPS post-Brexit

At the moment, EU-based British pension holders are free to transfer their pensionto one of 149 Qualified Recognised Overseas Pensions Schemes, QROPS, withlittle hassle. As we wrote about in a previous edition of this newsletter, such atransfer can have several benefits.

Potential new taxes on UK pension transfers post-Brexit however could affect thebenefits of future transfers to QROPS. “Pensions are a very easy target and the costof Brexit will have to be funded somehow,” Simon Byrne, Europe area manager withBelgravia Wealth Management, told The Local. “Now would be the perfect time foranyone who has a UK pension to review their personal circumstances,” added theconsultant.

Restrictions on working rights

One of the main hits to working rights in the EU for Brits will regard insolvency rights.Trade union rights could also be affected.

“UK and EU employees that work outside the UK in an EU country for a UKemployer may still be protected under the national guarantee fund established in thatcountry. However, this may not always be the case, as there are variations in howeach EU country has implemented the guarantee required by EU law,” states the UKgovernment’s technical note on this aspect of a no deal Brexit.

Validity of UK driving licenses in Europe

A British-issued driving license is currently an EU license. But should the UKbecome a third country in the scenario of a no deal Brexit, Brits may have to take anew license, or exchange it for a local one, in some countries within a given timeperiod.

“The validity of UK driving licences in the EU and other Member States’ licences inthe UK forms part of the ongoing negotiations on the future UK-EU relationship. Wewill let you know when we have more information,” states an update by the Britishgovernment.

Emergency health care

UK citizens who have health insurance in their EU country of residency will continueto enjoy health care. But the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), which givesmany British citizens travelling in Europe the right to emergency health treatment,would be affected in the case of a no deal scenario.

“In the absence of an agreement on future relations that covers reciprocalhealthcare, the rights currently enjoyed by 27 million UK citizens, thanks to theEHIC, will cease after Brexit. Other rights, provided for by the S2 scheme andPatients' Rights Directive, will also come to an end,” states a July 2018 debate on adiscussion on the topic in Britain’s upper house of parliament, the House of Lords.“Reciprocal healthcare arrangements post-Brexit will only be achieved by agreementbetween the UK and the EU,” adds the report.

Rights of UK frontier and seasonal workers in EU

This is linked to the loss of onward movement to another EU country other than theMember State in which Brits acquire residency under the Withdrawal Agreement.Thousands of seasonal workers, for example in the travel and ski industry, will nolonger be able to work outside their country of residence.

“Young people are moving regularly across nation states in search of temporarywork in the contemporary globalised market,” Michaela Benson told The Local.“Younger, itinerant people will find themselves not covered,” by a deal, she added.“Clarifying onward-movement rights will be one of the biggest remaining challengesregarding citizens rights,” states Benson’s report Next Steps: Implementing a BrexitDeal for UK Citizens Living in the EU-27.

Studying in the EU through Erasmus+

The government is encouraging students to apply in the October 2018 Erasmus calland has guaranteed to underwrite funding for any successful British applicants whoopt to study at a European higher-education institute.

The broader problem however is whether the UK will continue to be part of theErasmus programme, which facilitates EU-wide exchange programmes in the highereducation sector, or whether similar agreements will be reached with institutions.

“The government will need to reach agreement with the EU for UK organisations tocontinue participating in Erasmus+ projects and is seeking to hold these discussionswith the EU,” reads a technical note from the UK government on the future of EUstudents in the UK and vice-versa.

“If discussions with the Commission to secure UK organisations’ continued ability toparticipate in the programme are unsuccessful, the government will engage withmember states and key institutions to seek to ensure UK participants can continuewith their planned activity,” adds the note.

Disenfranchisement in UK after 15 years of not being registered to vote

If you have lived outside of the UK for more than 15 years and have not beenregistered to vote during that period, then you are disenfranchised.

“UK nationals living overseas are entitled to register to vote in UK Parliamentaryelections as overseas voters for up to 15 years after they were last registered to votein the UK,” state UK government guidelines on Brexit.

UK voters could also lose their right to vote in municipal and EU elections in theircountry of EU residence in a no deal Brexit scenario.

“The ability for UK nationals to vote and stand as a candidate in local elections willdepend on the electoral rules of the Member State in which they live at the point theUK leaves the EU in March 2019. We have said that we will look to return to thisissue on a bilateral basis with Member States,” states the UK government.

Rights of UK nationals living in Switzerland

EU rights of free movement currently allow British citizens living in the Alpine nationthe right to free movement and to work in the country for a determined period oftime. Switzerland is not an EU country, but under its 1999 package of sevenbilaterals with the EU, free movement for EU citizens is included. A separateagreement would need to be reached for UK citizens to continue to enjoy theserights.

“The citizens’ rights agreement reached in December does not cover UK nationalsliving in Switzerland. The UK is currently negotiating with Switzerland with the aim ofsecuring a deal on citizens’ rights similar to the one agreed between the UK andEU,” states the UK government

The citizens rights agreement also does not cover those living in Norway, Icelandand Liechtenstein, EEA members subject to EU rules on freedom of movement.

British pensioner fighting for commemoration of forgottenBritish soldiers who died nearly 100 years ago in PolandIn his World War I poem The Soldier, Rupert Brooke wrote: “If I should die, think onlythis of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England.” Aretired British estate agent and relative of one of 41 men of the British UpperSilesian Force who died in a military campaign in 1921 – while defending aVersailles border demarcation in what is modern-day Poland – is fighting to provethose words are more than verse.

When Jim Powrie, a British citizen living in Croatia, went to look for the grave of hisdad’s cousin Henry Powrie, a bombardier who had fought in the post World War IBritish campaign in what is now Poland, he expected to find a grave.

“I naturally thought that there would be a grave somewhere, but instead I discoveredthe details of the 29 other men who are buried without recognition,” Jim Powrie toldThe Local.

Not every corner of a foreign field it seems “is forever England.” A decision wasmade in the early 1920s that the Imperial War Graves Commission (IWGC) would beresponsible for the graves of all those who had died while serving in the armedforces of the British Empire from the outbreak of the Great War until August 31st,1921. Such persons would be regarded as ‘war dead’ whereas deaths in serviceafter August 31st, 1921, were peacetime deaths and not the responsibility of theIWGC.

41 British soldiers died while serving in the British Upper Silesian Force. The elevenwho died before August 31st, 1921, were exhumed and buried with proper

gravestones in Berlin. The other 30 soldiers and two civilians who died in the Britishmilitary campaign remained buried in what today is Opole, a city in southwestPoland.

As another war broke out, borders were redrawn and history moved on. The Britishsoldiers buried in the Polish city were forgotten. The IWGC paid for wooden crossesand the maintenance of the graves until 1945, but subsequent British authoritieshave neglected the burial site.

Other British soldiers who served and died in the Upper Rhineland campaign,however, are commemorated with proper gravestones in Cologne and Wiesbaden.

“As far as I can see, these are the only British soldiers who died in (what was then)Germany after World War I with known graves who are not commemorated in anyway,” says Jim Powrie, who has been leading a campaign to pressure the Ministry ofDefence to erect a memorial, or at least official markers, at the graves of the men.

Using photographic and video evidence, he has now identified exactly where the 30British soldiers and two civilians who died in the British Upper Silesian Force areburied. Yet the MOD has simply rebuffed his requests to mark them officially, saysPowrie. Instead, they advised him to contact the relevant regimental and corpsheadquarters to raise the necessary funds to erect gravestones.

“There is no official way of forcing the MOD to do anything,” adds Powrie, who hasplanted 30 small crosses with poppies as a gesture of memorial at the site in Poland.Powrie hopes that further research into the archives will convince the MOD “that aninjustice has been done that needs rectifying.”

German Finance Minister Scholz warns EU27 countries to prepare for no dealBrexit

Flanked by the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, the German financeminister cut a sombre tone while talking to business leaders in Frankfurt on August30th.

“The German government is doing everything in its power so that we reach anagreement,” said German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz at a banking conference inFrankfurt. “But at this stage we can’t say that it is a certain outcome,” added Scholz.“We must do our best so that an agreement is the outcome. Either way, we have toprepared that a no deal scenario is quite possible. That is advice that I feel we haveto give to business leaders in the current situation,” said the member of ChancellorMerkel’s cabinet, as reported by Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Michel Barnier however, at a separate press conference with his British counterpartDominic Raab, cut a more upbeat note, stating he was hopeful that an agreementcan still be reached by November.

Meanwhile, the words of the head of Deutsche Bank, Christian Sewing, will be seenas a sign that Frankfurt and other EU financial hubs have failed to challenge London

as a finance capital, despite bank after bank moving operations or undertaking Brexitrelocations to the EU.

"For real European champions to emerge, there needs to be consistent regulation inEurope, a single financial market, and a constructive response to the approachingBrexit, so that continental Europe can develop strong financial centres," Sewing tolda gathering of business leaders in Frankfurt, according to the same German daily.Europe has 5,500 banks but few are global players, according to the report.

London remains the world’s number one financial centre, according to the GlobalFinancial Centres Index (GFCI 23) published by think tank Z/Yen. Frankfurt droppedseven places to 20th, but remained the EU’s highest-ranked finance hub.

No deal Brexit: French government makes contingency plans for Brits living inFrance

The French government is to come up with urgent contingency plans to ensureBritish nationals can gain residency in France in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Parisis also thrashing out a plan to avoid chaos at the UK border in the event London andBrussels cannot reach a deal.

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe asked his ministers this week to work onemergency measures that would need to be taken if Britain crashes out of the EUwithout a deal having been agreed.

The contingency plans would aim to "mitigate the difficulties associated with theunprecedented challenge," said the Prime Minister's office.

Brexit skeletonsEach week, The Local looks to an element of past British culture – from classic

literature to modern television series – for a new, or old, insight into Brexit and/orBritain’s historical relationship with Europe.

Few British poets have immortalised Italy in their verse as did the playboy LordByron.

With all its sinful doings, I must say,

That Italy’s a pleasant place to me,

Who love to see the Sun shine every day,

And vines (not nail’d to walls) from tree to tree…

Byron later praises Italian – which “melts like kisses from a soft female mouth” –which he contrasts with “our harsh northern whistling, grunting, guttural.”

I love the language, that soft bastard Latin,

Which melts like kisses from a soft female mouth,

And sounds as if it should be writ on satin,

With syllables that breathe of the sweet South…

Free movement corner‘Free movement corner’ brings readers profiles of British citizens in Europe living onthe front line of Brexit, in partnership with British in Europe – the grassrootsmovement for the rights of British citizens in Europe.

Wanting to find out more about the figures for distinct communities of registeredBritish citizens in each EU27 country, The Local obtained statistics from ministriesand government offices in 14 of the EU27 Member States and added existing datafor the rest.

The modest estimate of 800,000 or so Brits in Europe (the total figure we got fromour research) only reflects the number registered in each country. Some estimatessay there are more than a million Brits in Spain alone, with the total figure for Brits inthe EU ranging up to 3.6 million.

Christine Cole, British pensioner, living in France

My husband and I are both retired. We sold our French holiday house in 2005 tomove back to UK for family reasons (new grandchild). We both missed France a lotbut kept in touch with our French neighbours – visiting them when we were inFrance.

At the time of the Brexit referendum in June 2016, we seemed to be about the onlycouple who voted remain in our small Northamptonshire village. At the same time,we saw an advert online for our erstwhile French home - we both decided this wasthe moment to buy back a house we loved. We consulted the family who were keenfor us to do it, especially the grandchildren, now teenage, who were looking forholiday destinations rather than babysitting. Our English house sold within four daysand we were committed!

The move, in November 2016, was not simple as there was a delay of nearly amonth between the sale of the English house and the formal purchase of the Frenchone but an English friend loaned us her French house which she visits only in thesummer! The inhabitants of our small French village turned out with open arms onour eventual return.

We are both now 78 and we are still settling. We are slowly conquering much of thebureaucracy, including joining the French taxation system, with permanentresidential status to come when the time is ripe. The house needed some work on itbut we are conquering that and so far have not regretted our decision. Frenchneighbours came to the rescue over finding a medical doctor (not easy in adepopulating countryside). Getting the garden in order and keeping it attractiveprovides the necessary exercise; growing our own vegetables adds to the availabilityof fresh produce. We are part of our local ‘voisinage’ and have been showered withsurplus produce during the year so have a larder of jams and chutneys which weexchange. We have been shown much kindness by neighbours and try to repay thisby helping out anyone who might need a lift or other sort of help. The two youngsons of a Parisian family who has recently bought a weekend home in the villageregularly visit our garden to play ping-pong or chess with our large cutout figures andother games.

We are determined to keep as fit and active as possible. We are daily making newfriends, like a Dutch couple of our age who have moved permanently from theirRotterdam home to their French holiday home, as well as welcoming old friendsfrom UK to enjoy our surroundings.

We have been welcomed into our local community and have been invited to sixcommunal meals and dancing so far. The Mayor has reached out to help and thelevel of social care is high. My husband speaks good French and my own is comingon daily.

Meanwhile in UK our local Conservative Council has been declared bankrupt and weare not getting good reports from former neighbours. There is apparently a highincrease in rough sleeping in the town.
