As set out on page 5 of the “Joint technical note on the comparison of EU-UK positions on citizens’ rights” (www.gov.uk/government/publications/joint-technical-note-on-the-comparison-of-eu-uk-positions-on-citizens-rights), the UK’s position is that eligibility for settled status should be based on the conditions set out in Articles 16 and 17 of the EU Free Movement Directive (2004/38/EC).
