The United Kingdom and the EU are divided into the treatment of youth mobility, negotiating documents

The United Kingdom and the European Union are deeply divided into the terms of a youth mobility scheme, which is a key part of a post-Brexit “reset” agreement, showing new negotiation documents.

With only two weeks until a crucial summit in London starts the formal negotiations, the couple remains very separate in an agreement to allow young people from 18 to 30 years old on both sides of the channel to travel and work more freely in the other countries.

The EU demands a “dedicated visa” to allow young people to work, study or “travel simply” in the United Kingdom as long as they have sufficient funds, according to a document project discussed on Wednesday by EU ambassadors.

It also proposes that EU students have to pay the same rates of £ 9,535 to attend British universities as domestic students.

A “counterproposal” in the United Kingdom suggests that the two parties “explore” a much narrower scheme that is “limited (I) of time) and would mean that visitors did not have” the right to bring dependents or benefits of access “, adds the document.

The United Kingdom government has repeatedly rejected the Brussels version of a youth mobility agreement, arguing that it is too close to restoring the “free movement of people” that ended with the 2016 Brexit vote.

The United Kingdom, on the other hand, would promote an agreement to improve rights for musicians and other tourist artists. The proposed text only says that the European Commission proposes to “provide clear information to artists” about the rules they need to comply.

Brussels also wants the United Kingdom to work to join the “Erasmus+” Student Exchange Program, according to the document, although the Minister of European Relations Nick Thomas-Symonds This week He told the FT this week that there was no plans to unite.

At its summit on May 19, in Lancaster House, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer and the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will announce a new collaboration of security and defense, along with a plan for a new “common understanding” of the EU-UK.

The documents established plans to deepen cooperation in areas that include energy, emission trade, cooperation in the fight against crime and coping with illegal migration, along with elimination of barriers to food and animal products trade.

The United Kingdom has called for “more flexibility” than EU countries to impose controls on food and plant imports. But the document states that the United Kingdom must accept the so -called “dynamic alignment” that would be automatically translated in accordance with EU rules and requests a “proper financial contribution” to pay EU work in this area.

In a victory for London, he adds that any food agreement will be governed by an “independent court of arbitration”, which prevents the European Court of Justice from having direct jurisdiction over the United Kingdom.

London officials would be involved in writing new laws covered by dynamic alignment, in a sign that any veterinary agreement following the EU rules inevitably approaches the two parties.

The United Kingdom should also make a “proper financial contribution” to any European emission trade system if the couple chose to link their separate programs, according to the document.

Beyond disagreements on trade and mobility, the two parties will also agree on an expansive security and defense collaboration that will create regular meetings, repairing what a Diplomat of the United Kingdom called the “institutional break” caused by the Brexit.

According to the text project, the United Kingdom and the EU will establish a “Dialogue of Foreign Policy” of six months between the British Foreign Secretary of Foreign Affairs and the high EU representative for Foreign Affairs.

The EU will also “regularly” invite the United Kingdom to high -level meetings, including quarterly meetings of the EU leaders of the EU leaders, along with an annual defense dialogue, training exchanges and possible seconds.

A spokesman for the United Kingdom government said that any final agreement would be in “national interest”, adding: “These are EU internal projection texts. No final agreement has been made.”
