European Year of Citizens 2013

Under the slogan "it's about Europe, it's about YOU", the European Year of Citizens 2013 is dedicated to the rights that come with EU citizenship.
 
Over this year, we will encourage dialogue between all levels of government, civil society and business at events and conferences around Europe to discuss those EU rights and build a vision of how the EU should be in 2020. One of the actions (from European Commission and Committee of Regions): The EU Citizens Passport!
 
The EU Citizens Passport is an information leaflet with a difference: it mimics the look and feel of a real passport, and is full of useful information about the European Union. It also provides a brief summary, in 24 languages, of the EU-level rights that come with the European Union Citizenship that all nationals of the European Union's member states enjoy in addition to their national rights.
