EUAP-M to hold seminar on EU citizenship today
The European Union Academic Programme in Macau (EUAP-M), under its Speakers’ and Visiting Speakers’ Seminar Series, will hold a seminar today at 3 p.m. at the University of Macau. Roel De Meu from the Institute for European Law in Leuven, Belgium, will discuss the nature and importance of EU citizenship in a talk titled “Citizenship of the European Union: A Dynamic Balance between EU and Member-States.” The talk will also tackle topics such as the conceptualization and possible new directions for the ever-evolving case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Since its introduction in the Maastricht Treaty, EU citizenship has proven to be fertile ground for the development of CJEU case law, according to a statement by the organizer.
