Subject matter:
Guaranteeing European citizens free movement by a Universal Instrument

Main objectives:
For the better functioning of a free market, in the interest of the Union and in order to comply with the duty of care towards all its citizens, we beg the Commission to delineate a method by which all Europeans of good standing may be granted a signal & permanent instrument of their status and of their right to free movement throughout the Union by way of a unified document of laissez-passer as permitted by Article (4) of Council Regulation 1417/2013, or by another method

Only 17,000 signatures so far, so some way to go.

Note - there is no guarantee this will provide a solution for UK citizens post brexit, but it could be a useful vehicle.

A solution for what?
A solution to losing the automatic right to free movement, freedom to work and vote in the largest political union on the planet.
I'm not interested in that so I won't be signing.
Its all too evident many brexiteers don't care about it at all.

Some do.

Its interesting to see how as well as not seeing the point themselves, many are very eager to deny that right to others.

The link actually uses both terms including "EU passport".

What exactly are you arguing about? That is it impossible or you don't like the idea?

Guy V has talked about this, so it appears to be feasible in one form or another - and he specifically had people potentially affected by brexit in mind.

Some at the time got angry with Guy V for proposing it some months back - is everyone now relaxed about it?
