Talk:Citizenship
From Academic Kids
EU citizenship (a) exists and (b) is solely additional to nationality/citizenship of an EU member state. Here is the current provision[1] (http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/treaties/dat/C_2002325EN.003301.html):
- Article 17.1
- Citizenship of the Union is hereby established. Every person holding the nationality of a Member State shall be a citizen of the Union. Citizenship of the Union shall complement and not replace national citizenship.
And here is the proposal by the Convention on the Future of Europe[2] (http://european-convention.eu.int/docs/Treaty/cv00850.en03.pdf):
- Article 8.1
- Every national of a Member State shall be a citizen of the Union. Citizenship of the Union shall be additional to national citizenship; it shall not replace it.

other citizenship entries
Some subtopics (such as Citizenship (Canada)) have their own entries. Should they be linked back to this entry? -[User: Finn-Zoltan|FZ]]
- I think that would be a great idea. And this entry can link to them/ --Spinboy 19:41, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

EU Passport Common Design
This article states that "The EU member states use a common passport design, burgundy coloured with the name of the member state, national seal and the title "European Union" or equivalent.". That is completely incorrect. Finnish passports are blue (http://passports.national-anthems.net/passports/europe/pages/Finland2.htm), German passports are red (http://passports.national-anthems.net/passports/europe/pages/GermanyEC.htm), Danish passports are also red (http://passports.national-anthems.net/passports/europe/pages/danmark.html), Lithuanian passports are green (http://passports.national-anthems.net/passports/europe/pages/Lithuania.htm), Czech passports are pink (http://passports.national-anthems.net/passports/europe/pages/CzechRepublic2.htm). What is the source of the previous statement, because it should be rewritten. Páll 10:52, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps you are looking at old passports and not the current designs? --Spinboy 21:08, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
