This dissertation was written as
part of the
LLM in Transnational and European
Commercial Law, Mediation, Arbitration and Energy Law
at the International Hellenic
University.
The topic revolves
around the concept of EU citizenship and endeavours to address
various related
to it
issues.
It constitutes an effort
to delineate the
rights that
EU
Member State national
s have
based on the
status
of European citizen
and to promote
the
benefits that
they are given
the opportunity to enjoy
bearing
at the same time
in
mind the obstacles that may stand in their
way
.
It also tries to monitor the progress
that has been achieved in the area of EU citizenship since introduction of the concept
with
the Treaty on the European Union at Maastricht
in 1993
.
The role that EU institutions have played in the establishment of the
concept
of EU
citizenship
is especially analysed.
Attention is drawn to rulings of the Court of Justice
which proved to be
extremely significant for
the
setting
of
solid foundations
in the
use
of EU citizen rights. Additionally,
the Commission’s stance is presented as part of the
wider effort to
raise awareness and disseminate good practices.
The contribution of Prof. Dr. Thomas Papadopoulos to the development of the
dissertation has been
invaluably unquestionable
.
Firstly, he very willingly accepted the
topic I proposed and set the basic guidelines for me to follow.
In addition, he provided
me with useful insights into the matter
and guided me towards the right direction with
suggested reading and bibliography.
Moreover, he pinpointed weak points and
proposed ways that I could enrich my arguments.
Mostly, he showed
understanding
towards the reason that made me delay contact
and start my dissertation
.
Above
all,
his
very precious remarks on my writing
broadened my way of thinking.
