European Union (EU) Free Movement Directive

The EU Free Movement Directive allows citizens of European Union countries to live, work, and study in any other EU member state without needing a visa. This directive is based on the principle of free movement, which promotes economic cooperation and cultural exchange among member nations. It ensures that EU citizens can seek employment, set up businesses, or join family members in different countries, fostering greater integration within Europe. The directive also includes rights related to residence and the treatment of workers, reinforcing the idea that people should be able to move freely across borders for various opportunities.
