European citizenship

In modern Europe there was a shift from national to European Citizenship. Back in the Treaty of Rome establishing the European Economic Community (April 17, 1957.) Proclaimed freedom of movement of persons (workers), goods and services without any limitation or discrimination.

Foundations of European citizenship laid down in the Maastricht Treaty (Treaty on European Union of 7 February 1992.), Which provides that persons who are nationals of EU Member States, are citizens of the EU.

Thus, obtaining citizenship of Romania or Bulgaria, the person receives a European citizen. The advantages of this citizenship are evident. It provides the right to reside in another EU Member State, the right of appeal to the European Parliament, the law abroad to get support from any EU member state. In addition, it provides a number of political rights - the right to vote and to elect and be elected himself, including the European Parliament. Вас интересует Европейское гражданство?
