European negotiators are considering a 150,000 annual cap on a post-Brexit youth mobility scheme with the UK, as talks face delays due to political changes.

• European negotiators are open to capping a post-Brexit youth mobility scheme at 150,000 places annually.
• The scheme would allow young EU citizens to live and work in the UK for three years, with no cap on Irish citizens due to the Common Travel Area.
• Negotiations face delays due to UK political changes, with a summit possibly postponed to autumn.
