"The right to freedom of movement and establishment within the Member States’ territory is the most tangible expression of the benefits of EU citizenship. While there were already almost 12 million EU citizens living in a Member State other than their own in 2009, one in five encounters too many obstacles to exercising this right, specifically with regard to their right to entry, to permanent residence, to the rights of family members, to accessing benefits, to recognition of university and vocational qualifications, and many more. However, the main obstacle to exercising EU citizenship actively is the citizens’ lack of knowledge of their rights. It is crucial that all citizens wanting to study, work, retire or live in another Member State have access to clear and practical information about their rights that is specific to each country, in case they want to stay there. The Member States should also coordinate better in terms of taxation, social security, etc. and should remove any remaining legal and administrative obstacles, so as to facilitate the exercise of these rights and eliminate any contradictions that may still exist between national and European legislation."@en1
