CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS: II. The Free Movement of Persons

In: The international & comparative law quarterly: ICLQ, Band 53, Heft 2, S. 479-487

Abstract

There has been much activity since the last report on this topic,1 not least that the citizenship provisions of the Treaty have burst into life with a series of cases and proposals which threaten to overturn the old order. The Commission's initial proposal2 to consolidate and radically reshape rights of residence has been revised in the legislative process,3 but is still un-adopted; the cases though are more dramatic.
