Reciprocal
Agreement with Spain likely if Brexit s confirmed: Foreign Secretary of UK
With recent fears emerging that the Brits
residing in Spain would have to go back to UK if majority of the voters choose
so, the Foreign Secretary of UK, Phillip Hammond has said that in such
conditions, UK and Spain will enter into a reciprocal agreement which will
allow the foreign nationals to continue having residency in
Spain and in their respective countries.

Phillip Hammond said this when he was asked
a question regarding Brexit in a recent think tank event that was held in
London.
The Foreign Minister appreciate this
question and went ahead to answer it, giving a relief to Brits living in Spain.
As of now, over two million Brits are living across different European Union
countries.
Phillip also said that UK has provided a
lot to EU citizens living in UK and have made sure that their stay is
comfortable. On similar lines, over two million Brits live in EU nations and
the largest number of them live in cities in Spain.
He said that they are planning to negotiate
if there are any voting policies as such and would also try to enter into a
reciprocal agreement, so that citizens living in different countries are left
undisturbed.
As of now, nothing is in their plate
regarding the plan of action after Brexit and said that there is a two year
transition period before UK becomes totally independent of EU.

Brexit
If people of UK decide on June 23rd
to leave EU, it will just be the beginning of the process and not the end; as
treaties with mandates of two years are less likely to be enforced within such
a short span. However, if the Brits decide to relocate, the British Government
will do the needful and serve a notice to the EU to start with further round of
negotiations.
We personally believe that if Britain
decides to leave the EU it will hardy affect residents in Spain when it comes
to buying or selling
in the Costa del Sol,. Spain would do everything in their powers to make trade
agreements with the UK by making sure that the British don’t leave.
To give a good example that all will be
well you only have to look at Norway who is a non EU member and Norwegians buy
property in southern Spain in there droves and do not have any problems that is
being suggested by the British government if a no vote takes effect.
There maybe a little more paperwork, and the pound may drop for a few years,
but it will come back. Spain will always be the Brits number one holiday and
expat destination, Why! Very simple because the sun will always shine and the
Spanish people are the most friendly and family orientated nation in Europe and
we are welcome.
Stay in Europe or vote out of Europe Life is SOOOO much better in Flip Flops.
