Spanish term or phrase: de la Comunidad Europea [nacionalidad]

Estoy revisando la traducción de un curriculum de un químico. En la sección de datos generales, dice:

"Nacionalidad: venezolana y **de la Comunidad Europea**"

¿Existe alguna manera de decir esto en inglés? ¿Existe realmente como nacionalidad definida o es preferible indicar el país específico y se sobreentiende que se trata de un país de la comunidad?

2 European Union (EU) citizenship

Currently " EU Citizenship" is not quite equal in status to national citizenship (and certainly not outside the EU). Rather one holds the "nationality of a member state" and, as a result of the Maastricht Treaty, thereby becomes a "citizen of the Union". This offers certain privileges within the EU: in many areas EU citizens have similar rights to native citizens in member states. Such rights granted to foreign EU citizens include the right of abode , the right to vote in local elections and the right to work in any position (including the civil service) except for very specific positions (defense...). The EU member states use a common passportThis article is about the international travel document. For Microsoft Corporation's "universal login" service, see Microsoft Passport. A passport is a formal document or certification issued by a national government that identifies the holder as a citize design, burgundy coloured with the name of the member state, national seal and the title "European Union" or equivalent.

philgoddard: It does sound a bit odd - you'd normally describe yourself as a citizen of a country.

-> Muchas gracias Phil. Es correcto lo que dices, pero si eres ciudadano de un país de la unión, eres también ciudadano de la unión. No se usa aún mucho, pero la persona lo puso así en el CV.

agree

Thomas Pfann: I'd say EU/European Union rather than EC which is outdated.

Muriel Vasconcellos: "European Community" is a misnomer, and there is no generic citizenship or passport for citizens of European Union countries.

European Union national

Explanation:
Todavía no se ha creado la “ciuidadanía europea”, pero del original se entiente que la persona posee la ciudadanía de uno de los países de la Unión Europea, e igual interpretacón tiene la traducción sugerida. Por otra parte, la comunidad Europea dejó de existir y actualmente se denomina Unión Europea.

dual [Venezuelan and] European Community citizenship

Explanation:
My one doubt is why "community" is used rather "Union"--usually today people talk about EU citizenship.

citizenship of the European Union

Explanation:
Official term (since 1992).

Please see:

http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/institutional_affairs...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_of_the_European_Uni...

If your document pertains to some earlier period, other terms may apply.

"citizenship of the European Community" might be slightly misleading, especially that there were (previously) CommunitieS rather than Community.

[Venezuelan,] European Union laissez-passer

Explanation:
First, 'Euroepan Community' is an ancient misnomer that arose decades ago from the original Eurpean Coal and Steel Community treaty and later came to refer to several European communitieS. The correct current term is European Union. The body that governs the EU is the European Commission.
Citizens of the European Union countries retain their nationality. However, the do travel betwen countries with a European Union passport. See Wikipedia explanation of the passport below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport_of_the_European_Union
As the European Union does not issue a single common passport, Passports of the European Union refers to the different passports issued by the 27 nations of the EU. European passports share common design features[1] such as the burgundy coloured cover, the use of the words "European Union" (before 1997: "European Community") in 23 of the EU official languages on the first page, as well as common security features and biometrics.[2] Some EU countries also issue non-European passports to people whose citizenship of that country does not make them citizens of the European Union (e.g., British Overseas Territories citizens, British National (Overseas)).[3]

Although member states issue their own passports, the EU countries in the Schengen area have a common visa policy. The EU is also working to achieve visa mutuality, respective to all member states. For example, today all EU passport holders are allowed to visit Mexico under the same conditions.

It is a political goal of the European Union to achieve freedom from visa requirements for citizens of the European Union at least in such countries the citizens of which may enter the Schengen area without visa. To this end, the European Commission negotiates with third-countries, the citizens of which do not require visas to enter the Schengen area for short-term stays, about the abolishment of visa requirements which exist for at least some EU member states. The European Commission involves the members state concerned into the negotiations, and has to frequently report on the mutuality situation to the European Parliament and the Council.[4] The Commission may recommend the temporary restoration of the visa requirement for nationals of the third country in question.

The European Commission has dealt with the question of mutuality of the abolishment of visa requirements towards third countries on the highest political level. Currently there are three countries with which mutuality has yet to be achieved : Brazil, Canada and the United States [5] With respect to the U.S. it suggests to examine the effects of new legislation enacted there, but reserves itself “the right to propose retaliatory measures”.[6]

All European Union citizens may visit the following countries without previous visa arrangements: [the list includes Venezuela]

My guess is that the person holds a European Union laissez-passer because he/she has been invited to do scientific work in countries of the European Union. There would be reason to mention this on a c.v. because it's a marketable advantage. It sometimes allows the bearer to carry specimens, biologicals, reagents, etc. that ordinarily would not pass through Customs.
