Juncker urges Belgian citizenship for UK staff

The EU Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, has urged Belgium to grant citizenship to British EU staff worried about their post-Brexit status.

About 1,100 UK citizens work for the EU in Brussels and Luxembourg.

Mr Juncker called Belgium a kind host and asked its prime minister, Charles Michel, to "show the same generosity when it comes to granting Belgian citizenship" to British EU staff.

When the UK leaves the EU next March Britons will lose their EU citizenship.
