"You could say that this is actually something that should be taken for granted," Sigmar Gabriel said after talks with his French counterpart in Paris. Over dinner with her 27 EU counterparts, May promised EU citizens living in Britain that they could stay after Brexit, with permanent rights to health care, education, welfare and pensions equivalent to British nationals. "What health insurance, what retirement rights, what legal status will citizens from Europe have in Britain and the same for British citizens in Europe?"
