"Mr President, when ten new Member States joined the European Union in 2004 they did so in the hopes that a free Europe without borders and functioning on the basis of uniform principles will one day be created. It is contrary to these expectations, and also unacceptable, to withdraw the citizenship of citizens of an EU Member State for the sole reason of them also taking on the citizenship of another Member State of the Community, as we can now see in Slovakia.
Today the EU is united in several respects. It applies its own provisions. And yet it allows this matter of dual citizenship to undermine its unity and prestige. If a Member State offers the possibility for citizens to take up its citizenship regardless of their place of residence this possibility must be allowed to be exercised. EU Member States should not apply revocation of citizenship against each other. We expect our institutions to take action in order to ensure that citizens cannot be put at a disadvantage on the basis of multiple citizenship within the EU."@en1
