By using these EU European Union Citizenship notes, you will be able to understand the development of citizenship in the EU. This concept has been the subject of much discussion, with debate focused upon whether it confers any additional rights which go beyond those provided under pre-existing EU law. While the Maastricht Treaty created the concept of EU citizenship. The concept will be re-considered for 2024 with all the developments in this area.
