This will allow London and Brussels to negotiate new arrangements to guide future relations, but in the meantime there are some practical changes.The United Kingdom has left the EU and the union has lost one of its largest and richest states, the first ever to quit the project. It has no MEPs, the 73 Brits elected in May have left. 46 of the seats will be kept for future EU members and 27 distributed among under-represented countries.
As non-EU citizens, Brits are not eligible for senior bureaucratic posts in Brussels, but many have already secured dual nationality and residence rights.Britain will, however, continue to pay into the EU budget as the second largest net contributor after Germany until the end of the transition.According to the United Nations, around 1.2 million British citizens live in other EU countries, mainly in Spain, Ireland, France, Germany and Italy.
But Britons in Europe and EU citizens in the UK may have to register with the authorities and individual member states will set up procedures of their own. But these negotiations changed after Friday, when the"Article 50" procedure in the European Treaty expires and the UK becomes a third country.
