Impact of EU 90/180 day rule on UK citizens

That this House is deeply concerned about the damaging impact of the EU’s 90-day limit within a 180-day period on British touring artists, professional drivers, and tourists; notes that current rules severely restrict the mobility and economic opportunities of musicians, performers, lorry and coach drivers, and British travellers who depend on working and travelling across Europe for their livelihoods; further notes that with the EU's Entry/Exit System beginning stringent monitoring from October, haulage and coach companies could see revenue reductions of up to 50 per cent, threatening their viability; observes that this situation is unfairly asymmetrical, as EU nationals visiting the UK can stay for up to six months per visit, placing British citizens at a disadvantage; and therefore urges immediate action to negotiate a reciprocal agreement with the EU that ensures fair and equal terms for British lorry drivers, coach drivers, travellers, artists and performers, securing their livelihoods and strengthening mutual benefits for both sides.
