UK begins issuing non-EU passports
Change took into account the first deadline of Brexit, March 29
Despite the impasse in approving the Brexit agreement, the UK government started this week to issue passports without the name of the European Union on the cover.
The new documents had been prepared on the basis of the first deadline set for the country's departure from the bloc, March 29, which was changed to April 12 and now, at the request of Prime Minister Theresa May, it can be extended to 30 June.
The Interior Ministry, however, has explained that it will continue issuing the old passports until the end of the inventory. The document is to undergo a further change in late 2019, with the gradual return of the blue color used in the UK to 1988, rather than the red that characterizes EU passports.
May is attempting a further postponement of Brexit due to the lack of approval of the "divorce" agreement by the British Parliament, which has already rejected the text on three occasions and also rejected all the alternatives proposed by the government and the opposition.
