EU citizenship is almost thirty years old and there are many reasons for thinking in a more holistic and constructive way about it. This can be done through the adoption of an EU Citizenship Statute which brings together all EU citizenship rights and dimensions, links clearly EU citizenship rights with the European Pillar on Social Rights, and fundamental rights, that is, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, enriches its rights and includes responsibilities for EU citizens. This idea has been supported by the European Parliament and the citizen-led Conference on the Future of Europe. In this manifesto, we present this institutional proposal, examine its drivers and its obstacles and propose the text of its possible articles before lending our attention to the steps required for the statute’s empirical implementation. The adoption of a statute would contribute to the creation of a rights-based and inclusive European community with an effective EU citizenship and enhanced living and working conditions.

欧盟公民身份已有将近 30 年的历史，我们有很多理由以更全面和建设性的方式思考它。这可以通过采用欧盟公民法规来实现，该法规汇集了所有欧盟公民权利和维度，明确地将欧盟公民权利与欧洲社会权利支柱和基本权利联系起来，即欧盟基本权利宪章，丰富了它的权利，包括对欧盟公民的责任。这一想法得到了欧洲议会和公民主导的欧洲未来会议的支持。在这份宣言中，我们提出了这项制度提案，研究了它的驱动因素和障碍，并在关注法规的实证实施所需的步骤之前提出了可能的条款文本。
