UK Prime Minister Theresa May laudits the return of Britain’s classic blue-gold passport as a benefit of leaving the EU, – a gesture to Brexit campaigners visualising  it is a symbol of national sovereignty.

The European Parliament representative for Brexit negotiations could not not miss an opportunity to ironise about UK Prime minister statement:

There is no Brussels regulation which states that EU countries’ passports have to be a certain colour, only a legally non-binding European Council resolution from 1981 that recommends burgundy.
