The European Commission had asked EU members for permission to open negotiations, but there is no interest from the UK Government.

The Government has ruled out any post-Brexit deal that would make it easier for young Britons to live, study and work in the EU.

The UK currently has individual youth mobility schemes with 13 countries, and the Government said it preferred such bilateral arrangements over an EU-wide deal. European Commission vice-president Maros Sefcovic said Brexit had “hit young people in the EU and the UK who would like to study, work and live abroad particularly hard”.

But a UK Government spokesperson said: “We are not introducing an EU-wide Youth Mobility Scheme – free movement within the EU was ended and there are no plans to introduce it. He said: “Liberal Democrats have long been urging the Government to negotiate a reciprocal youth mobility scheme with Europe.
