Background:
15 June 2023 -
Brits cannot keep citizenship rights,
EU top court confirms
..."In a judgement that upheld a previous General Court ruling, the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice ...the EU’s top court confirmed on Thursday (15 June) 2023... that “the loss of the status of citizen of the European Union, and consequently the loss of the rights attached to that status, is an automatic consequence of the sole sovereign decision taken by the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union, and not of the withdrawal agreement or the Council’s decision.”
The ruling, which does not come as a surprise, effectively confirms that people from third countries or former member states can only acquire EU citizenship by becoming a citizen of a member country in the bloc."...
..."In May, 2023, the UK parliament’s EU committee raised concerns with Home Secretary Suella Braverman that resources to support UK citizens in the EU had been scaled back substantially since 2021 with no official organisation to provide advice to British people settled in the EU."...
