"Citizenship of the Union is hereby established" - easily done, this miraculous invention of EU citizenship. And so? Not a lot happened in fact. But rather than dwell on the disappointments inherent in Article 8 EC, this article is about the state of citizenship in the European Union in 1998 and what it could, as a dynamic concept, imaginatively interpreted, evolve into. It would have been a nice bonus to have been able to embellish the arguments below with some new Treaty changes introduced at the Amsterdam Intergovernmental Conference, but the changes were few and Article 8 EC remains substantively unchanged. In introducing that Article into the EC Treaty, the Maastricht Intergovernmental Conference begat a kind of "textual" citizenship of the European Union, the reality of which could neither be denied nor, however, precisely located.
