UK prime minister has told EU
leaders that EU citizens legally resident in the UK will be entitled to the same
rights as British citizens after Brexit,
Theresa May said at a Brussels
summit that "no one will face a cliff edge,"
Report says a new "UK settled status" will grant
those who have spent five years in the UK equal rights on healthcare,
education, benefits and pensions.
Guaranteeing EU citizens' rights is
the top priority for the EU delegation negotiating Brexit.
Before May's offer, the EU proposed
that EU citizens in the UK and the estimated 1.2 million Britons living in EU
countries should continue enjoying the same rights, enforceable by the European
Court of Justice .
