52As the Commission observes, the fact that an individual, where the State of which he or she is a national was a Member State, exercised his or her right to move and reside freely within the territory of another Member State is, consequently, not such as to enable him or her to retain the status of citizen of the Union and all the rights attached thereto by the FEU Treaty if, following the withdrawal of his or her State of origin from the European Union, he or she no longer holds the nationality of a Member State.
