ECAS’s 30th Anniversary – Accomplishments and Hopes for the Future

ECAS30

Recientemente, Servicio Europeo de Acción Ciudadana (ECAS) celebrated its 30th Anniversary. Read ECAS Director Assya Kavrakova´s post on ECAS´s accomplishments and aspirations.

Pro Igual has been a network member in the field of Human Rights, Inclusion & Nondicrimination for nearly a decade, and made its modest contributions to a number of high-profile campaigns. Among the most valuable in our own work we find EU Rights Clinic which has provided legal aid and served to rectify rights violations of countless individuals in varying administrative situation.

We warmly congratulate ECAS with the anniversary and wish many happy returns and achievements!

Deal or no deal: the rights that will be lost with Brexit

Deal or no deal? That is the question. Despite the promise that nothing will change for them, both EU nationals living in the UK and British residents in the rest of the EU are to lose out from Brexit. The situation could even be worsened if there is no agreement on the terms of the UK’s departure from the European Union. The failure of talks at the EU summit in Salzburg this week did not offer assurances in this regard, leaving people whose status depends on EU treaties in a troubling state of uncertainty.

This is an overview of what can happen to the rights of 3.7 million EU citizens who are living in the UK and 1.2 million British citizens who are living in another EU country after Brexit. As inconceivable as it was before the EU referendum, the overview shows the rights preserved and lost under the draft “deal” published in March and in the event of “no deal”.

In short, the right to family reunion, the ability to exercise professional activities across countries and to participate in political life, will be weakened under the draft withdrawal agreement. But in the case of “no deal”, there will be even heavier consequences in terms of potential loss of acquired pension rights, free or subsidised healthcare when travelling and ability to provide services across borders.
