Abstract

In this paper I argue that the Court is showing a retreat from its ambitious citizenship vision, according to which Union citizenship should be the 'fundamental status' of Union citizens, hence even more important than their market status. This is particularly visible in recent cases in relation to own citizens and public policy derogations. I will then suggest that such a retreat is symptomatic of a broader phenomenon which was triggered by the Eurozone financial crisis and that sees the EU, its institutions and its Member States at a cross road, where a decision has to be taken as to the future direction of the integration project.
