A senior EU figure proposed visa-free travel for British citizens after Brexit as the bloc stepped up its preparations for a no-deal on Tuesday. Timmermans spoke after EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier updated the European Commission on divorce negotiations with Britain, which British Prime Minister Theresa May said were “in the endgame” but remain stuck over the Irish border. The European Commission proposed that Britons would be able to travel in the EU for up to 90 days without a visa, effective from 30 March 2019 in a no-deal exit, or from the end of the transition period if there is a deal. But Britain has said it will not accept any such proposal and wants an agreement with Brussels by next month so people can continue living their lives normally.
