The European Parliament's group on Brexit negotiations has made a damning assessment of British proposals on EU citizens' rights after the UK leaves the European Union. <br/><br/>In a letter today to EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier, the group said the UK does not respect the principles of reciprocity, symmetry and non-discrimination. Further more, it said that under the UK proposals made on June 26, EU citizens in Britain would be looking at nothing less than relegation to second-class status. <br/><br/>Citizens' rights in each other's nations are considered the first issue that both sides must settle. Even though Barnier is leading the negotiations, the European Parliament still has a veto right on any deal.
