I can’t find his full 80 pages (yet) either, but there was more from Miranda regarding the above in @tkrunning’s “Expresso exclusive” post from July:
“It creates a situation of uncertainty about the start date of the period, which is no longer in the hands of the citizen and is entirely in the hands of the Administration.” Thus, two people who submit a residence application at the same time may receive approval on different dates, thus having a completely different start date for access to nationality. “No discernible reason can be found for such a distinction”
…and let’s be clear here - when he says “a completely different start date for access to nationality” we’re talking years different in some cases.
