Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, published today a press release with 2015 data on the acquisition of citizenship in the EU. The main conclusions are that EU Member States granted citizenship to fewer persons in 2015, and Moroccans, Albanians and Turks remain the main recipients.

20 member states have responded on an ad hoc query on the existence of citizenship tests in order to obtain citizenship, what these citizenship tests are composed of and which assesment criteria are applied.
