European Citizens' Initiative: Permanent European Union Citizenship

[nanila]

UK and European community members, I ask you to consider signing the initiative linked below. If for no other reason, to prevent the disenfranchisement of a swath of UK citizens living and working in Europe.

Permanent European Union Citizenship

Subject-matter: European Union Citizenship

Main objectives:
EU citizens elect the European Parliament and participate in its work, thus exercising treaty rights, enhancing Union democracy, and reinforcing its citizenship. Noting the ECJ’s view of Union citizenship as a ‘fundamental status’ of nationals of Member States, and that Brexit will strip millions of EU citizens of this status and their vote in European elections, requests the Commission propose means to avoid risk of collective loss of EU citizenship and rights, and assure all EU citizens that, once attained, such status is permanent and their rights acquired.
