The key points:

Here are the key points of the joint report agreed between the UK and EU on the expected content of Britain’s Withdrawal Agreement.

CITIZENS’ RIGHTS

Reciprocal protection for EU citizens in UK and Britons living in the remaining 27 member-states who are resident at time of the UK’s withdrawal, along with their family.

Right to bring in spouses, civil partners and children forming part of the family at time of Brexit, and any children born or adopted after that date. The UK and EU can require one another’s nationals to apply for residence status and obtain documents to prove their right to stay, through a “transparent, smooth and streamlined” process.

IRISH BORDER

Both sides agree to protect the Good Friday Agreement and avoid a “hard border” between NI and Republic.

If there is no trade deal, the UK will maintain “full alignment” with single market and customs union rules that “support North-South co-operation, all-island economy and protection of 1998 Agreement”.

If there is no deal, UK will ensure no new regulatory barriers develop between Northern Ireland and the mainland and that businesses in province continue to enjoy “unfettered access” to UK internal market.

Right for all Northern Irish people to take British or Irish nationality is preserved. Common Travel Area to continue to operate.

FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT

UK to contribute to the EU budget up to the end of 2020 “as if it had remained in the Union”.

UK to pay its share of outstanding unpaid EU commitments — known as the Reste A Liquider (RAL) — and to the financing of EU liabilities at December 31, 2020.

Britain to receive a share of financial benefits that would have fallen to it as a member of the EU before 2020.

Capital in European Investment Bank to be returned to the UK in 12 annual instalments starting at the end of 2019.
