Hello all,
On another forum, we have a great discussion going on about Britain and the EEA
Let me set the scene.
In your UK passport, on the details page at the back, you are named as 'BRITISH CITIZEN'
As the UK is part and party to the EEA, are we also, EEA CITIZENS?
It appears that we are British citizens while we live in UK, and if we move to live in Europe, then we are then EEA citizens.
As UK is part of the EEA, we have free right to live and work in any member country of the EEA.
I am just looking for other peoples view on the correctness or wrongness of the fact we are British Citizens while we live in England, and EEA citizens while we live in France for example.
It is worth noting that EEA citizens enjoy far more priviliges than British citizens.
