Conclusion (the committee's words)
Whether they have constitutive or declaratory systems, some EU Member States have failed to communicate effectively with their UK populations. There have been problems with inconsistent levels of communication to UK citizens, which, when compounded by other issues such as digital exclusion and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, may cause some to fail to access their Withdrawal Agreement rights. We therefore urge the Government to continue to make every effort to raise such issues with the EU Commission and relevant Member States, including at meetings of the Specialised Committee, to ensure they are addressed.
