Directive 2004/38/EC

Directive 2004/38/EC, also known as the Citizens' Rights Directive, allows EU citizens and their family members to live, work, and study in any EU country. It establishes the right to move freely within the EU and sets conditions for residence, ensuring protection against discrimination. The directive outlines the rights of EU citizens to reside in another member state for over three months if they have a job, are studying, or have sufficient resources. It aims to enhance mobility, strengthen citizenship rights, and facilitate cross-border living within the EU.
