Red lines on Brexit negotiations Plenary Session

Ένα σκλρό ψήφισμα του Ευρωπαικού Κοινοβουλίου για το Brexit

''An overwhelming majority of the house (516 votes in favour, 133 against, with 50 abstentions) adopted a resolution officially laying down the European Parliament’s key principles and conditions for its approval of the UK's withdrawal agreement. Any such agreement at the end of UK-EU negotiations will need to win the approval of the European Parliament.

MEPs stress the importance of securing equal and fair treatment for EU citizens living in the UK and British citizens living in the EU.
