No Such Thing As No Deal - How EU Brexit Affects Expats
ProACT Sam Orgill Highlights the steps Expats should consider taking to secure their future Living and Working Abroad.
Have you ever tried to agree a sabbatical from work or school, to find yourself embroiled in a negotiation and conditions? That you have to use holiday pay, or forgo pay, that you must evidence the reasons for the absence?
Or have you ever tried to change your working hours, gain some flexibility, to have conditions applied to your reasonable request made with best intention?
Currency Chatter. Deadline Deals for Brexit
ProACT Sam says that the apparent breakthrough in withdrawal treaty negotiations can give Expats extra confidence, but that we already had certainties of the changes ahead for Expat business and individuals.
After the Brexit vote the UK GBP v EURO fell from as high as Euro 1.30 to GBP £1.00 to around Euro 1.11
As with many things in Brexit we hear constant reports of currency falling or rising.
As our report showed last year , for all the ups and down, Pound Sterling as a currency has been around 1.11 for the last two years.
So this weekends news that after all the politicking , all the PR from vested interests, all the lobbying , a withdrawal treaty is suddenly agreed between the EU and UK negotiators, has an immediate impact on currency.
Straight away we see this happening, a jump in the EURO:GBP Rate to Euro1.13 to £1.00. No surprise.

Torpedoed
The British government find itself vetoed out of a financial settlement on EU Brexit not by one of the 27 remaining EU states, but by a King in the North, the leader of the Northern Ireland ‘government’ effectively vetoed the Financial Settlement to which the EU member states had agreed in principle.
Instead of announcing the way forward for trade talks this week, the British government is left scrambling for a 3rd way to EU Brexit.
In the EU game of thrones the king makers will continue to seek a 3rd way. The final agreement will be similar to the current proposal, if we get that far.

“In the Game of Thrones You Win or You Die” Cersi Lannister told the Noble Edwin Stark. And so it seem in this weekly drama of EU Brexit for Expats. Very political, high risk stuff. There will one winner it seems, who will that be? EU, Merkel, Crobyn, France, Russia, Saudi, Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP, Boris Johnson, Theresa May?
“It’s the economy stupid” was a campaign phrased by a relative of mine, James Carville, as campaign strategist for Bill Clinton in the 1991 Presidential election. It was successful in an election campaign that unseated the sitting president George W Bush, who lost in an campaign held during a recession.
Teresa May is in an election campaign that will run until 23:00PM on 29th March 2019 when the UK will be committed to leaving the EU, a date to be written into UK law. If she gets the government that far. Until that date anything could change and everything may.
