Summary
The reform to the Treaty structure at Maastricht was frequently likened to that of a temple façade with pillars. This book has likened the core tenets of free movement of persons law (upon which the later Citizenship specific law was based) to that of an edifice built upon foundations of sand. Chapters 1 and 2 were akin to describing inherent fissures within the foundations of such a temple. Chapters 4 and 5 constitute an inspection of inherent problems within the pillars upon which the roof of Citizenship was ultimately laid. This chapter will focus specifically on utterances of equal treatment, making the inherent point that such points are worthy of assessment in and of themselves.
