The latest figures about the 10000s of #britsinFrance #latvia #luxembourg #malta who haven't applied for residence makes alarming reading. With a #harddeadline of #30June, my latest piece for @ukandeu examines the #stats 1/

It addresses who might fall between the gaps - building in my experience in working with British citizens living in France over the course of the #brexitnegotiations 2/

And calls for these countries to extend their deadlines for applications and develop communication strategies to target hard-to-reach populations. And I'm not alone @BritishInEurope have released a statement to the same effect 3/⬇️⬇️⬇️britishineurope.org/articles/75313…
#THREAD 3rd joint report on the #implementation of #citizensrights provisions has just been released - makes alarming reading re: #britsinEU. In countries where people need to register by 30/6 lots of applications outstanding 1/
Quick reminder of the countries where this is the case #france #latvia #luxembourg #thenetherlands #malta and here's where each of them were up to at last report date ⬇️⬇️⬇️2/ 
So, first things first, the stats re: numbers of #britsinEU are not always very accurate. I've written about this more times than I can actually believe including here for @BBCNews bbc.co.uk/news/uk-466328… 3/
Thanks to @LordsEUCom for inviting me to present oral evidence today alongside @Suewilson91 @BremainInSpain and Jane Golding @BritishInEurope - good opportunity to reflect on #citizensrights and #britsinEU drawing on the research for @BrExpatsEU. A few takeaways from me to follow
First up why the statistics about how many #britsinEU are limited and why this matters in context of 30 June deadline for applications for new residence status in #france #thenetherlands #latvia #luxembourg #malta - see my #thread from earlier⬇️⬇️⬇️
We talked a lot about hidden and vulnerable #britsinEU - homeless, children in care, disabled and elderly populations - who might fall between the cracks of the provisions and how more support needs to be put in place 2/
Doing my prep for @LordsEUCom I have been revisiting the question of how many #BritsinEU there are and why this matters for #citizensrights and #Withdrawalagreement. Just a recap, there are significant limitations to statistics about this population 1/ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-466328…
These are the baseline for considering the progress of different EU member states in making sure that #britsinEU are registered for their new residence rights used in the joint UK-EC reports from the Specialised Committee on citizens' rights 2/ ec.europa.eu/info/sites/def…
This is particularly important when it comes to countries operating a #constitutivesystem including #france which hosts the second largest population of #britsinEU. The official statistics about #britsinfrance are likely a considerable underestimate 3/ docs.google.com/document/d/18y…
