Youth mobility scheme may be delayed to ensure success of UK-EU summit
Diplomats suggest a six-month delay for a youth mobility scheme between the EU and UK to facilitate a successful summit on November 20. The UK insists on international tuition fees and a cap on EU citizens under the proposed YES visas, while EU states have differing views on these issues. Negotiations on other matters are nearing completion, but the youth mobility scheme remains unresolved. There is a push to separate tuition fees from the discussions, with a potential commitment to negotiate a solution by May 2027. The UK government faces pressure from universities regarding fee structures, complicating the negotiations.
