Chief Minister Frank Walker said yesterday that the States should not ‘rock the boat’ by trying to change the law that stops Islanders with no UK or EU ties having ‘freedom of movement’ in Europe.
In a report published yesterday, Senator Walker’s department estimates that 5,000 people have a stamp in their passports which denies them the right to work and live permanently in the EU. But he said that any attempt to change the laws, covered under Protocol 3, could open Jersey up to serious challenges from Europe.
