The EU has proposed allowing UK citizens to travel to the Schengen Area visa-free, even in a no-deal Brexit scenario. The European Council has put forward the measure, which would give UK residents access to Europe without a visa for March in any 180-day period. The proposal is expected to be passed by the European Parliament, which has indicated its support for visa-free travel, as it will facilitate tourism and economic activity. However, UK prime minister Theresa May reacted angrily to the fact that Gibraltar was termed a "British colony" in the EU’s document.
