Geyer, Florian. (2007) The External Dimension of EU Citizenship: Arguing for Effective Protection of Citizens Abroad. CEPS Policy Brief No. 136, 3 July 2007. [Policy Paper]
Abstract
[From the Introduction]. This Policy Brief is the edited and extended version of CEPS’ contribution to the Commission’s Green Paper consultation. While acknowledging that the Green Paper addresses a wide range of issues, this document focuses mainly on the following themes: 1) the material scope of Art. 20 TEC, 2) its legal character as regards individual entitlement and 3) its enforceability and justiciability. The last sections deal with the questions of harmonisation as well as a possible involvement of Commission delegations in the exercise of consular assistance and diplomatic protection.
