Uncertainty about the future of the European Union workers in the UK

One of the output side risks in the UK by the European Union is the fate of the approximately 2.9 million Union citizens, who live and work on English soil. The scenarios, which could become a reality, consist of a range of possibilities, ranging from the treatment of EU citizens as a bargaining chip in the negotiations, which will provide the rules for the release of London, until the disturbing possibility of their expulsion from the United Kingdom. We must not forget that one of the major reasons that favored the victory in the referendum of the proponents of the spill from Brussels, was just the hostility towards foreigners and the lack of work, resulting in, for UK citizens. Without the adhesion of London to the regime of freedom of movement, which would allow an exit, to some extent, mitigated by Europe, EU citizens would be equivalent to other foreign and probably subject to limits on the residence permit and the possibility of exercising work on English soil. The possibility that England should adopt an agreement which establishes the mutual freedom of movement with the inhabitants of the Union, appears, however remote, to avoid contaminating the referendum result. The issue of EU citizens is strongly felt in Britain itself, where the human rights commission, formed by both members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, has put the issue to the government in London, with the aim of avoid non-compliance with the rights of workers and residents from EU countries. The problem is to give a legal certainty, providing clear rules and secure their status in England and solving the current uncertain situation, which has dragged on for six months, a far too long period. This is the consequence of the unexpected outcome of the referendum, which did not allow to think in advance and implement legislation for a part so important to people, often with skilled employment; the lack of foresight of the British authorities has thus created a potential for blackmail factor, which could become a weapon aimed towards European citizens. On the other hand a rigid attitude of the British authorities, is likely to cause deleterious effects on British justice, since it would materialize a large number of applications, such as to bring the justice system to paralysis. The British Parliamentary Committee seems to have given indications of common sense to determine the criteria by which the British government would grant the stay on English soil, ranging from the years of residence, family status and rights that may be acquired. However, the English premier position seems to be that of caution, located mostly dictated by the need not to get into conflict with the political forces that caused the exit from Europe. The Prime Minister, in fact, he claimed to be unable to guarantee the rights of citizens belonging to the European Union unless there is reciprocity valid treatment for over a million British citizens resident in the Union. The suspicion is that this attitude conceals an intention to put pressure on Brussels, when it comes to defining the Treaty will have to adjust the output and the future relations between London and Brussels. If this strategy were true the real risk is to create dangerous conflicts between the two sides, so also to slow down the negotiations, it seems, then, to be the true intention English: in fact until the signing of new rules for the UK apply the current rules that still allow the effective stay in the Union. The perception is that London tries to draw the greatest possible benefit from future negotiations and not hesitate to use every weapon at their disposal. Despite this reading of the situation, it seems difficult that Britain really wants to deprive of qualified staff, called upon to perform tasks of high professionalism, due to the lack of local labor supply. This is confirmed by the appeal of associations of undertakings and British trade unions in order to regulate unilaterally and preventively, ie before the start of negotiations, the situation of union workers: a very clear and states that where the government English can not ignore.
