Hearings - LIBE - EMPL - PETI Joint Hearing on "Citizens' rights after Brexit", 1.2.18 - 01-02-2018 - Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs - Committee on Employment and Social Affairs - Committee on Petitions 24-01-2018 11:46 AM CET The situation and rights of EU citizens in the UK and UK citizens in the Member States of the Union post Brexit is one of the most important issues in the Brexit negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Commission. The European Parliament has called for the withdrawal agreement to incorporate the full set of rights citizens currently enjoy and to ensure reciprocity, equity, symmetry and non-discrimination for EU citizens in the United Kingdom and UK citizens in the European Union. On 1 February 2018 the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs and the Committee on Petitions will hold a public hearing to take stock of the situation on citizens' rights after the announcement in December 2017 that sufficient progress has been achieved in the negotiations for the withdrawal agreement.

Has it been as comprehensive as claimed by the Agenda and as called upon by the European Parliament? What happened to the so-called "legal avenues"? Where does the "new policy on legal migration" stand? Are EU measures better supporting now integration within the Member States? Based on "four pillars to manage migration better", the Agenda included proposals for fighting irregular migration, reinforcing common border management, strengthening the common asylum policy and launching a new policy on legal migration. In its resolution of 12 April 2016 on "The Situation in the Mediterranean and the need for a holistic EU policy on migration", the European Parliament also took a comprehensive stance - in its reaction to "the crisis", the EU should not forget the long, the need to create legal avenues to migration, and to facilitate integration in order to manage human mobility in a sustainable way. With this one-day event, Parliamentarians at both national and European level will have a unique opportunity to exchange with representatives of EU institutions, bodies and agencies, intergovernmental organisations, local governments, academics and think tanks on a topic which combines competences at all levels of governance in the EU.
