Briefing - The European Parliament and the development of European citizenship: From Tindemans to Spinelli (1972-1984) - 24-06-2024

The concept of European Union (EU) citizenship was formally introduced into the EU constitutional order by Article 8 of the Treaty of Maastricht (today Article 20 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, TFEU). This form of citizenship is additional to national citizenship and does not replace it. However, the introduction of European citizenship took over two decades to reach fruition – from discussions in the early 1970s up to the 1992 Maastricht Treaty. This briefing examines the formative phase in the development of European citizenship, from the early 1970s to the 1984 Draft Treaty establishing the European Union. It highlights key milestones, including the 1975 Tindemans Report, the 1979 European elections, and the Spinelli Project of the early 1980s, emphasising the European Parliament's role in this process. Despite lacking substantial legislative power at the time, Parliament introduced crucial ideas that shifted the discourse from a market-centred to a politically oriented concept of citizenship. Leaders like Tindemans and Spinelli were instrumental in this transformation, striving relentlessly – though only partially successfully – to move beyond the nation-state and market integration as the ultimate reference points for European citizenship. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the more comprehensive notion of European citizenship that would eventually emerge during the Maastricht negotiations, indicating how these early debates marked a significant step towards democratising European integration and enriching the debate on European citizenship. This is the first in a series of briefings looking at the role of the European Parliament in the development of European citizenship, ranging from the 1972 Paris Summit to the 2003 Draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe.

Driver and 2 passengers abandon rental car and flee after avoiding police roadblock

While trying to avoid a police roadblock, the driver of a rental car lost control of the vehicle and mounted the kerb onto the pavement and grass verge. He and another man then got out of the car and ran off. Another passenger, a woman, also attempted to flee, but was stopped by passers-by. The drama was captured in pictures posted to Facebook group SG Road Vigilante on Monday (June 24), which show the vehicle from carsharing platform BlueSG on the grass verge along Boon Keng Road. It does not look visibly damaged. According to the post, the incident happened at about 4.30am on Monday. Three people exited the car afterwards. Two men, one of whom was the driver, ran off and left behind a female passenger, who was restrained by passers-by. The woman remained seated on the ground until she was handed over to the police. The two men were later nabbed and taken back to the scene for questioning about 1.5 hours later, according to the post.

Oil spill incident: Next phase of cleanup to take around 3 months, affected public areas to reopen progressively afterwards

Since an oil spill incident on the southern coast of Singapore halted all sea activities, water sports operator Ninja Kayaker and Foilers has had to postpone three classes.  It hasn't received any new bookings either «because people know they can't use the [water],» founder Clarence Chua told AsiaOne, adding that «those who have already booked may also seek a refund». He charges $700 for each class, which accomodates five to six people. But while the cleanup operation is progressing well, Chua may have to stick it out a little bit longer. That's because the next phase of the cleanup will take around another three months, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu said in a joint press conference on Monday (June 24) with the Transport and National Development ministries. The oil spill occurred at Pasir Panjang Terminal on June 14 due to a collision between a dredging boat and a bunker vessel, which saw 400 tonnes of fuel pour into the sea. This affected shorelines around Singapore such as Sentosa, Labrador Nature Reserve, the Southern Islands and East Coast Park, among other areas, The Straits Times reported.
