The EU Citizenship Directive defines the right of free movement for citizens of the European Economic Area. It applies to EU citizens and their family members who move to another Member State. This might at first seem like a straightforward definition, but immediately questions arise. Who determines if a person is an EU citizen at all? What about dual citizens of two Member States, or of one Member State and a non-Member State (a 'third State')? What is the position of EU citizens who move to one Member State, and then return to their home Member State? This book provides a comprehensive commentary on the EU's Citizens' Directive tracing the evolution of the Directive's provisions, placing each article in its historical and legislative context. Special emphasis is placed on highlighting the connections and interactions between the Directive's constituent provisions so as to permit a global appreciation of the system of free movement rights to which the Directive gives effect. Each provision is annotated containing a detailed analysis of the case-law of the Court of Justice as well as of related measures impacting upon the Directive's interpretation including European Commission reports and guidelines on the Directive's implementation. The fully updated third edition updates key legal developments, including case law, Commission guidance, Brexit implications, and new EU free movement agreements with Switzerland and others.

There is no doubt that the current scrutiny and debate on the UK relationship with the European Union has seen the topic dominate the political landscape. Though the debate about withdrawal or renegotiation will be a primarily political and economic one, either outcome would be defined in substance by a legal process. Inevitably, the answers to key political and economic questions will be dependent upon the legal framework. This book will offer a close examination of the legal issues at the core of the UK’s relationship with the EU to show how they will inform and influence that relationship’s future evolution. Written by one of the key commentators in the field, it will appeal to academics and practitioners. In addition, given the importance and topicality of the subject, it will also appeal to a non-legal readership.
