  • Serhii Lashyn

摘要

The possession of Union citizenship is attached to the nationalities of the EU Member States. For this reason, it is said that EU citizenship derives from a Member State’s nationality. This chapter looks into this link. It focuses on how the personal scope of Union citizenship is determined by the Member States through their nationality laws, how those laws came within the reach of EU law because of Union citizenship and how EU citizenship can be lost. Then, this chapter looks into the alternatives to the current derivative status of Union citizenship suggested by commentators and critically reflects on them.
