The decision of the CJEU in Z ambrano was seen as another example of an over‐active judiciary in L uxembourg. This comment suggests, on the contrary, that the case has too little reasoning to open any ‘floodgates’ but that in setting out a new logic for EU citizenship, the O pinion offers an approach which limits the global approach to free movement case law and uses citizenship status to include rather than exclude the refugee.
