Part I: Should Citizenship Be for Sale? Abstract On 12 November 2013 the Maltese Parliament decided to offer Maltese and European citizenship at the price of € 650,000, but implementation of the law was postponed due to strong domestic and international critiques. On 23 December, the Maltese government announced significant amendments, including a higher total amount of € 1,150,000, part of which has to be invested in real estate and government bonds. Several other European states have adopted ‘golden passport’ programmes. Should citizenship be for sale? In November 2013 EUDO CITIZENSHIP invited Ayelet Shachar of the University of Toronto Law School to open a debate on these controversial policies. Twelve authors have contributed short commentaries, most of which refer to the initial law adopted by the Maltese Parliament. An executive summary by Rainer Bauböck provides an overview over the main questions raised in our Forum. The contributions to this Forum on ‘citizenship for sale’ were published and disseminated to Members of the European Parliament shortly before a plenary debate on 15 January 2014 in the European Parliament. After hearing a statement by EU Commissioner Viviane Reding, the EP passed a resolution condemning the Maltese policy.
