This is the reply from WAISer Angel Viñas who used to work in the EU’s Brussels office.
Excerpt: “In response to Bienvenido Macario (19 June), issues concerning UK expats living in the EU would have to be addressed in the negotiations for delinking the UK from the EU.
The concessions negotiated with Cameron were accepted on the understanding that the referendum would take place according to the UK legislation on the date stated. The Lisbon Treaty acknowledges that any member state may hand in a request for separation at any time. In such cases Art. 50 would apply. This would also happen with the UK.
Needless to say, Art. 50 was designed in such a way as to deter any member state from having recourse to it. Should the UK opt out for the delinking, the framework for negotiations is likely to be set up in such a way that no danger of contamination arises. The British Government is well aware of this and has publicly stated this presumption. In my humble understanding, they wouldn´t be disappointed.”
