Recommendation (the committee's words)
The UK Nationals Support Fund provides important support to third party organisations to help UK citizens, particularly those who are vulnerable, to access their rights under the Withdrawal Agreement. We note that it targets those organisations that support the largest populations of UK citizens and we also note that not every Member State may have third party organisations that could receive this funding. However, we are concerned that the fund currently only covers 12 EU countries, and, given the importance of the support it provides, we call on the Government to extend its coverage, as a matter of urgency, to as many EU countries as possible, particularly to those with constitutive systems.
