UK and EU edge closer to a youth mobility deal
Brussels hosts a summit on 20 November. A draft suggests up to three years of mobility for young people, while student fees remain under discussion.
The UK government has confirmed that the prime minister will meet the presidents of the European Council and the European Commission in Brussels. Reuters, citing a draft joint statement, reported that negotiators expect to announce an agreement on a scheme for people aged 18 to 34. The draft could still change before the meeting.
The proposed programme would cover work, study, volunteering and travel. Tuition fees are on a separate track. The draft reported by Reuters envisages more negotiations on fees, so applicants should look for the published terms before making plans.
