"Free movement is one of the EU’s most cherished achievements, which is also confirmed by the fact that 88% of European citizens (interviewed) recognise it as the most familiar of the four freedoms introduced by the EU. The programmes relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights, together with increased synergy with other EU programmes, can undoubtedly help to give new impetus to the concept of European citizenship and to dismantle the obstacles that are still restricting it. Accordingly, the proper functioning of the single market is based on dismantling the obstacles to economic and social cohesion in the EU, which can be achieved, as the Commission has reiterated, by updating Directive 2005/36/EC in order to allow for the swifter, less bureaucratic recognition of professional qualifications. The European Year of Citizens in 2013 must represent an additional opportunity for Europe to dismantle the further obstacles that still prevent European citizens from fully enjoying their rights as European citizens, and help to build a single market at the service of citizens. Finally, it should be emphasised that while EU citizenship is often considered secondary to national citizenship, it can be used as a ‘preparatory citizenship’ for non-EU citizens who meet certain conditions, such as ‘good conduct’."@en1
