[The new German law on foreigners' residency: change and continuity]

"This article about the new German law on foreigners which came [into] force on 1-1-91, emphasizes the changes made to the 1965 law and the differences between the situations of foreigners in France and Germany. Two changes of attitude are to be noted: the introduction of a right of residence and of an 'earlier' naturalisation. This naturalisation which is limited to young foreigners and foreigners who have been living in Germany for a long time, finally gets away from the principles of racial...tendencies [i.e.] the belonging to the socio-cultural German Community."
