EU Chief Assures British Staff They Not Losing Their Jobs

Brussels: European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has reassured Britons working for the EU executive that their jobs are not at risk following Britain's vote to leave the European Union, an EU official said on Friday.

EU civil service jobs are generally restricted to EU citizens and Britons will lose that status once their country has completed its departure. Juncker sent a mail to staff saying that people would not be forced out.

Senior officials have said they may leave the EU service, however, since career moves into the higher grades in Brussels requires political patronage from EU member governments.
