Maltese citizenship by investment: Opinion of EU Advocate General Collins
Advocate General Collins on the Maltese law granting citizenship by investment: The EU Commission has failed to prove that EU rules on citizenship (Article 20 TFEU) require the existence of a ‘genuine link’ or ‘prior genuine link’ between a Member State and an individual in order for it to grant citizenship. The Advocate General’s Opinion is not binding on the Court of Justice.
