ECRIS-TCN and the fundamental right to non-discrimination

The Meijers Committee took notice of the final compromise text regarding the Regulation on ECRIS-TCN.According to Article 2 of this proposed text, the ECRIS-TCN database will contain information of both third-country nationals (TCN) and Union citizens who also have the nationality of a third country. Thus, Article 2 for the first time introduces in EU law a difference in treatment between dual and mono Union citizens, those who also have the nationality of a third country and Union citizens who only have the nationality of a Member State.
