Key points
- The report highlights that EU citizenship is a unique legal status that exists alongside national citizenship but has not yet reached its full potential.
- There is a need to strengthen political rights, such as the right to vote and stand for election, to combat declining voter turnout.
- Obstacles to freedom of movement, including discrimination and administrative hurdles for families, must be addressed.
- The right to consular protection in third countries needs better implementation and higher awareness among citizens.
