European Union citizens living in the U.K. will face a “legal no-man’s land” after Brexit, according to a document obtained by the Observer newspaper.
European lawmakers and officials foresee problems because Britain lacks information on which EU nationals are in the country before its divorce, the newspaper reported. That will make it difficult to choose who will remain after Brexit, and could “overburden” the system, according to the leaked report, which was drawn up by the European Parliament’s employment committee.
