Academic article examining Malta’s investor citizenship schemes
Development summary
Alina Tryfonidou’s article in the Nordic Journal of European Law analyses the Court of Justice’s judgment in Commission v Malta and the compatibility of investor citizenship schemes with EU law. It supports the conclusion that Malta’s scheme is unlawful insofar as it confers Union citizenship, while noting that whether the grant of Member State nationality alone falls within the same prohibition, and whether the ruling has retroactive effect, remain unresolved.
