- Title
THE EUROPEAN UNION CITIZENSHIP.
- Authors
TOADER, Dumitru
- Abstract
The Treaty of Maastricht, introduced the European citizenship to strengthen the existing relationship between the EU and the Member State citizens, but did not define the term. In fact, the Treaties of Maastricht and Amsterdam, although based on the two concepts of the Europe of the citizens and the European Union citizenship, establish a set of rights that are closer to the concept of citizenship in the traditional sense than to the one of the Europe of citizens. The citizenship of the European Union under the Maastricht Treaty is closely linked to the nationality of a Member State and is regarded as a first outline of a common European identity and cannot be compared with the citizenship of a state since it does establish a relationship between the citizen and the European Union regarding rights and obligations. The European citizenship is fundamentally distinct from the national one, which, by the wording of the Treaty of Amsterdam, "is completed but not replaced by the former".
