44Furthermore, the contested decision does not alter the legal situation of UK citizens resident in one of the European Union’s other 27 Member States (‘the EU 27’), whether that be their situation at the date of the contested decision or their situation from the date of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU. In particular, the applicants are wrong to claim that they are directly affected, inter alia as regards their status as EU citizens and their right to vote in European and municipal elections, their right to respect for their private and family life, their freedom to move, reside and work, their right to own property and their right to social security benefits.
