"In the light of Article 18 of the EC Treaty, every citizen has the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. Directive 2004/38/EC defines in detail the legal possibilities for movement within the EU’s borders by citizens, their close family or a legally-documented partner.
Free movement should, however, be considered together with regulations concerning free movement of workers and freedom to provide services.
As we all know, four EU Member States still have not opened their labour markets to workers from the countries which acceded in 2004. As many as 11 EU Member States continue to apply restrictions on their labour markets to citizens of Rumania and Bulgaria.
I think that this situation has a negative influence, and not only on the process of integration. We should strive to remove existing barriers as soon as possible.
In accordance with Article 20 of the Treaty, every citizen shall, within the territory of a third country in which the Member State of which he is a national is not represented, be entitled to protection by the diplomatic or consular authorities of any Member State, on the same conditions as the nationals of that State.
The measures which have been announced concerning the strengthening of consular protection in third countries should be implemented as soon as possible, and negotiations with third countries on the lifting of visa requirements should be continued."@en1
