    About this ebook

    When Slovenia joined the European Union in 2004, people in Slovenia become the citizens of the EU. EU citizenship does not replace national citizenship but is additional to it, since EU citizens have the possibility to exercise many rights all over the EU. But what do our common citizenship and our living and working in the same community bring? They bring rights and opportunities in many areas. Some rights associated with living and free movement, employment, education, social security and health care, single market and right to vote and to be elected have been linked with statistical data and Slovenia has been ranked on the scale of EU Member States.

      INTRODUCTION

      2013 is the European Year of Citizens.

      Statisticians in Slovenia joined the events surrounding the European Year of Citizens by issuing a special publication. From a treasure of statistical data we selected some that can be linked to the rights people have as EU citizens. Our aim was to present some interesting and useful facts about how people in the EU live.

      Over half a billion people are living in the European Union; a large majority of them are EU citizens. In addition to being citizens of Slovenia, Italy, Lithuania, Spain, Greece and other Member States, we are also citizens of the European Union. But what do our common citizenship and our living and working in the same community bring? They bring rights and opportunities in many areas, which perhaps are not that commonly known.

      The European Year of Citizens is aimed at expanding the horizons of Europeans; politicians in Europe are striving to achieve this objective by informing, discussing, lecturing and organising various events on this topic. The wish to raise awareness can be seen in the slogan of the European Year of Citizens: It’s about Europe. It’s about you. Join the debate.

      Hopefully our publication will broaden at least a part of our common European horizon.

      The European Year of Citizens coincides with the 20th anniversary of the introduction of EU citizenship, which was introduced in 1993 when the Treaty on European Union (Maastricht Treaty) came into force. In addition to EU citizenship, the treaty introduced common foreign and internal policy. The key
