Abstract

This chapter seeks to make a modest contribution to analytical thought on interplay between, on one hand, Member States' (MS') policy objectives regarding status of non-European Union (EU) migrants and evolution of MS' nationality Law; and, on other, principles underlying MS' nationality Law and its compatibility with a reconceptualised EU citizenship. It discusses two principles of nationality law: principle of nationality restitution and that of immigrants' integration. The principle of immigrant integration is aimed at facilitating immigrants' access to naturalization and at finding formulas for granting nationality to second generations of immigrants so as to contribute to their integration into national/ EU society. In Davies' view, since Rottmann several aspects of national citizenship come under authority of Court of Justice; the Court has announced that it is now supreme adjudicator on acceptable content of national citizenship law. Keywords: European Union (EU) citizenship; immigrant integration; Member States (MS') nationality; nationality restitution
