What the petition asks
Negotiate a reciprocal deal that allows tourists from the EU and UK to travel for up to six months in their respective territories - preferably visa-free.
Visitors from numerous countries around the world can already travel to the UK for up to six months for tourism purposes. A similar arrangement should be extended to EU citizens in return for equal rights for UK tourists to the EU. In recognition of our historic connections with the EU, this should ideally be visa-free.
If the EU as a whole will not agree to this, we should only offer to individual EU countries what they are willing to offer us. Reciprocal arrangements with each country are better than accepting an unfair deal from the EU.
