The Lords’ European Affairs Committee found that the complexity of current rules for travel between the UK and the EU was acting as a “serious barrier to mobility”, particularly for seasonal workers, such as ski company staff and tour operator reps, as well as business travellers who need to spend longer periods in the EU.
The report, entitled The Future UK-EU Relationship, published on Saturday (29 April) has made a series of recommendations to improve mobility, ahead of a scheduled review in 2025 of the Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TCA), which sets out current travel arrangements.
