The objects and reasons of this Bill are to address the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the Case C-181/23, Commission v. Malta. Additionally, this Bill extends the deadline of the date when the link required for the acquisition of citizenship by descent is deemed to be severed following the death of the relevant parent, whereby such circumstances would affect the right of subsequent generations to acquire Maltese citizenship by descent, amends the provisions which regulate citizenship by merit and clarifies furthermore the textual reference in the case of adopted children.
