The problem question does not state if Roger is a citizen of any EU country or if he is a British national. Therefore the answer to my problem question will only be an assumption that he is a British national. Even though my assumption will be regarding him as a British national, either way the law and rules that apply in the EU is the same for all EU Member state.

The problem questions concerns the status and the rights accorded to the migrant European Union national in the host state. It concerns the status of a worker and family under European Union law together with the application of the principle of discrimination and the right to equal treatment.

The Union citizenship was finally formally introduced into the European Union (EU) by the Maastricht treaty in 1992 in an effort to bring the Union closer to the people. Throughout the problem question it will be seen as to the extent to which the introduction of citizenship into the EU legal framework actually adds concrete rights to EU citizens or whether it is of symbolic importance only.

Article 20 states that each individual who is a national of a Member State is also automatically an EU citizen. Article 21 grants free movement rights to all EU citizens within the limit of the treaty and secondary legislation. The free movement rights of economically active citizens are well established under Article 45 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The principle of EU citizenship is often used in conjunction with the principle of equal treatment now enshrined in Article 18 TFEU to ensure that there is no discrimination between nationals of a host state and EU national migrants.

  • The Case Of Francovich's Impact On The EU Law

    1103 Words  | 3 Pages

    The case of Francovich had a significant impact on the European Union (EU) law. If a conflict arises between the EU law and the national law, the EU law highly prevails. The European Union law is a framework of treaties and legislation, which have a direct or indirect effect on the laws of the member states which are bound to the European Union. Primary and Secondary laws are the two sources of the EU law. This essay will firstly analyse the main institutions of the European Union and define various legal terms. It will then move on, to discuss the case of Francovich and the importance it had for state liability.

    With the introduction of the Schengen Agreement in 1985, travel and restrictions within Europe drastically changed. For the first time in the world, a large group of countries banded together and abolished any restriction on travel, creating a massive zone of free travel. Anyone who was a citizen of a country within the European union now had access to every other country also within the area, creating essentially a borderless landmass. This agreement had some major positive factors, but also some blaring negative effects. The most blaring negative side effect of the free tra...

  • Erosion of UK Parliamentary Sovereignty through EU Membership

    890 Words  | 2 Pages

    A key result of the principle of parliamentary sovereignty is that there is no hierarchy in regards to Acts of Parliament: all parliamentary legislation is, in principle, of equal validity and effectiveness. Yet, the judgement of Thoburn in 2002 indicated that there may be a special class of "constitutional statutes" such as the Human Rights Act 1998. This special class infers that parliamentary sovereignty has been eroded as despite the supposed equal validity of Acts, there are those which preside over them which in this case is EU

  • Human Rights: The EU Charter Of Fundamental Rights

    836 Words  | 2 Pages

    The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is a document which brings together all of the Fundamental Human Rights together in one, single document. Before the inception of EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, the member states of the European Union had many conflicting opinions on what exactly a human right entailed, therefore the need for a single, codified document outlaying the basic Fundamental Human Rights was great. The Charter was issued in 2000 and at this time, according to Jesse Norman, The Parliamentary Undersecretary of State for Industry and Energy, ‘The charter was then described as a ‘solemn proclamation’ and was designed to strengthen the EU’S political legitimacy, containing rights and freedoms as well as strengthening the rights of

  • The Doctrine Of Supremacy Of The Eu Law

    1337 Words  | 3 Pages

    The doctrine of Supremacy of the EU Law has been adopted from the European Court of Justice, in which the doctrine covers all aspects of law in member states. The supremacy is evidently implied in the Treaty on European Union Article 4(3) and Treaty of the functioning of the European Union Article 18 , which emphasises the prohibitions against discrimination. This is then supported by Article 288 TFEU whereby the regulations are binding upon each member state. Furthermore, Article 344 TFEU ensures resolution between member states. This assignment will discuss to what extent the acceptance of the supremacy of the EU law has been problematic in regards to parliamentary sovereignty.
