EU citizenship is a unique concept. If you are a national of one of the 27 EU Member States, then you are also automatically an EU citizen. This enables you to enjoy certain rights and benefits that are distinct from being a national of an EU Member State. What’s more, these rights are valid in all 27 EU Member States.
EU citizenship can open up a world of possibilities. This brochure provides you with what you need to know about your rights and explains how they can be used best as an EU citizen.
