Although the Court makes no explicit reference to the controversial <em>genuine link<\/em> criterion, it limits Member States\u2019 discretion by requiring that the granting of citizenship be conditional upon the existence of a particular link with the individual. This raises questions \u2013 which this article aims to examine \u2013 regarding both the general relevance of this criterion and its potential impact on the Court\u2019s case law, which rules out any relevance of the abuse of rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"wppdfemb-frame-container-1\" style=\"-webkit-overflow-scrolling:auto;\">\n\t\t\t<iframe class=\"pdfembed-iframe nonfullscreen wppdf-emb-iframe-1\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/?pdfemb-data=eyJwZGZJRCI6MTEwODM3LCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3LmFpc2R1ZS5ldVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNlwvMDhcL1Bvc3QtQWRlbGluYS1BZGlub2xmaS0xLnBkZiIsInRpdGxlIjoiUG9zdC1BZGVsaW5hLUFkaW5vbGZpLTEiLCJpbmRleCI6MSwid21fdGV4dCI6IiJ9\"\n\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Post-Adelina-Adinolfi-1\"\t\t\t\tdata-pdf-id=\"110837\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-pdf-index=\"1\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"border:none;width:100%;max-width:100%;height:100vh;\"\n\t\t\t\tscrolling=\"yes\">\n\t\t\t<\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Post-Adelina-Adinolfi-1.pdf\">DOWNLOAD IN FORMATO PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract (ITA) La sentenza nel caso Commissione\/Malta porta la Corte di giustizia ad affermare principi inediti, che valorizzano il significato costituzionale della cittadinanza dell\u2019Unione e la mutua fiducia tra gli Stati membri che \u00e8 alla base del riconoscimento dei diritti spettanti ai cittadini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_piecal_is_event":false,"_piecal_start_date":"","_piecal_end_date":"","_piecal_is_allday":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-post-articoli"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110811"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110811\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":110840,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110811\/revisions\/110840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aisdue.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
