Abstract:
On April 6, 2022, the European Commission sent Malta a reasoned opinion concerning its investor citizenship program, also referred to as “golden passport” scheme. The Commission informed Malta that conferring EU citizenship in return for pre-determined payments or investments, without any genuine link to the Member States, violates EU law.[1]
