A European Parliament committee has voted in favour of allowing visa - free EU travel for UK citizens , even in the event of a no - deal agreement . The new so-called parliamentary rapporteur, Bulgarian EU lawmaker Sergei Stanishev, was picked on Tuesday, and on Wednesday spoke before the committee voted 38 to 8 in favour of the law, which still calls Gibraltar a UK “colony”. It is conditional on EU citizens , visiting the UK for up to 90 days , receiving the same offer . The bill , which angered some in Gibraltar by referring to Gibraltar as a colony in the text , must be approved by a plenary session of the European Parliament before becoming law .
