Key quotes (via The Guardian)
- MEPs would not accept discrimination between EU citizens
- We have heard that Theresa May is considering a cut-off date as the notification date. We completely disagree on this and we believe that the British citizens and those from the other 27 states are EU citizens until the day of the divorce
- It cannot be right that someone signing a work contract in the UK on Tuesday has more rights than someone signing a contract on Thursday
- We will not allow Theresa May to deliver a hard Brexit for EU citizens
- If we don’t insist on the rights of workers in the UK, then I am afraid the UK’s health service will collapse, given the number of EU nationals who are working as nurses
