Citizenship of the Union was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty signed in 1992. According to Article 17 of the Treaty of Rome (as amended) , to hold the "Citizenship of the Union" one must first hold the "nationality of a Member State". In the case of Micheletti v Delegación del Gobierno en Cantabria (C-396/90) [1992] ECR I-4239 , it was established that "it is for each member state, having due regard to Community law, to lay down the conditions for the acquisition and loss of nationality". According to the same case, dual nationality with only one nationality of a member state is sufficient to fulfill the requirements for "Citizenship of the Union".
EU member states also use a common passport design, burgundy coloured with the name of the member state, national seal and the title "European Union" (or its translation). Union citizenship continues to gain in status and the European Court of Justice has stated that Union citizenship will be the "fundamental status of nationals of Member States" (see Grzelczyk v Centre Public d'Aide Sociale d'Ottignes-Louvain-la-Neuve Case C-184/99 [2001] ECR I-6193, para 31) . The European Commission has affirmed that Union citizenship should be the fundamental status of EU nationals with respect to matters covered by European Union treaties. See also
