EU Directive 2004/38/EC

EU Directive 2004/38/EC, also known as the Free Movement Directive, allows EU citizens and their family members to live, work, and travel freely within EU countries. It aims to simplify the rights of EU citizens to move and reside in other member states without needing visas or special permits. The directive also ensures that EU citizens can access equal treatment in host countries regarding employment, education, and social benefits. Overall, it promotes the idea of a unified Europe where people can easily move and settle across borders.
