British PM May: There are differences between our proposals and those of EU
British Prime Minister Theresa May is crossing the wires, via Reuters, saying that there are differences between their proposals and those of the EU.
Key quotes (via Reuters):
- After constructive start of Brexit negotiations, I set out our Brexit approach to EU citizens living in UK
- Will publish proposals on EU citizens in full on Monday and want agreement as soon as possible
- I remain of view that this is a fair and serious offer for EU citizens living in Britain
- There are differences between our proposals and those of EU
- No recollection of her opposing former Prime Minister's plans to offer EU citizens a unilateral pledge on their rights
- Made it clear to EU colleagues, over 80 percent of voters voted for parties which support leaving the EU, and that's what we are going to do
