Recital 3
(3) The rights inherent to citizenship of the Union are incorporated in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. According to the Charter's Preamble, the Union ‘places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing a citizenship of the Union and by creating an area of freedom, security and justice’. Chapter V of the Charter sets down ‘Citizens’ rights‘’, including, in its Article 45, the right of every citizen of the Union to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. It follows that there is a general presumption against the loss of citizenship.
