"The report by Mrs Gacek on Union citizenship is a real fraud.
Under the guise of strengthening freedom of movement and residence in the European Union for Community nationals, it introduces real equality of treatment between the latter and citizens of third countries.
The report deliberately uses the general term of citizenship to lump together in a totally illegitimate manner the concepts of nationality of a Member State and citizenship of the Union.
The objective, beyond the desire to confuse, is very clear: to extend the possibility of acquiring the nationality of a Member State to all persons legally residing in that State in accordance with the right deriving from citizenship of the Union. This is why the rapporteur is introducing a new concept of intra-Community migrant, a species that is proliferating. It is true that the European Parliament is now composed of representatives of the citizens of the Union rather than of the peoples of the States. This is a serious attack on national identity and cohesion.
Beware, ladies and gentlemen: as representatives of the undifferentiated citizens of the European Union, you are soon to become stateless Members. Deep down, though, that may be just what you want."@en1
