The EU have kindly put up on their website a document that summarises the areas of agreement and divergence as well as areas where more clarity is needed from the UK HERE. If you remember we were told after the referendum that the UK ought to make a big unilateral offer to the millions of EU citizens living and working over here and who were desperately worried about their future status. We were also told this would be relatively easy.
At eleven pages, it covers the rights of future family members, individual enforcement rights, criminal acts committed after Brexit, voting rights, and so on and so on. This is the area on which most progress has been made but where far more remains to be done and of course what is left is the most contentious. We have not even got to the point yet where the EU can set out the differences in the relative positions on the Brexit bill or the Irish border. Remember four months have now gone out of the 24 we started with and the progress is miniscule.
