British Prime Minister: fees to register EU citizens canceled
10:00
Prime Minister Theresa May's government is withdrawing from its previously planned administrative fees that were to be collected from EU citizens living in Great Britain. The fee was to cover the administration costs of registering in a special system in order to remain in the UK after Brexit.
The system is to be launched at the end of March. For several months, it has been tested on selected social groups. A fee of £65 (approximately PLN 320) for an adult had to be paid for registration.
Prime Minister May also said that people who have already submitted their applications in the testing phase and paid the £65 fee will receive a refund.
The change of heart comes after the House of Commons rejected the government’s EU exit agreement. The aim of the changes is to obtain broader political support for the proposed agreement.
