The European Community's successes and failures in guaranteeing the
fundamental right to free movement of persons continue to develop
against the backgrounds of domestic civil rights and international
human rights obligations. Although often justified merely in terms
of economic efficiency, non-discriminatory rights and freedoms of
movement can be seen as constituting an essential component of the
legal foundation of all European projects, and as a powerful force
in the forging of a new European identity beyond the traditional
nation-state.The present volume - a revised and updated edition of
the important work first published in 2001 - provides a
comprehensive, up-to-date overview of European law on the movement
of persons. Its scope encompasses doctrinal basis, institutional
framework, legal compliance, judicial development, and derogation
on such grounds as security and health. The authors, both
well-known experts in the field, comment extensively on matters
including visas, free movement of workers, freedom of establishment
for companies in the context of taxation, posted workers,
harmonisation of professional qualifications, European citizenship,
freedom to provide and receive services, agreements between the
European Community and other states concerning free movement, and
the rights of families and individuals to housing and education, as
well as the increasingly important topic of the rights of third
country nationals.In addition to providing analysis of the relevant
provisions of the European Community Treaty as amended by
subsequent treaties including the Treaties of Amsterdam and Nice,
the book takes considerable account of all relevant secondary
legislation and sometimes soft law, for example draft treaties,
resolutions, and draft legislation. All of these perspectives -
legislative and judicial, at domestic, EC and international levels
- are here fully updated, with special attention to the
far-reaching implications of the recent Residence Directive.In this
new edition the authors clearly articulate what has been gained in
recent years, and also consider what obstacles remain and what
future developments might take place in this area of Community law.
For these reasons and others, "Free Movement of Persons Within the
European Community, Second Edition", will continue to be of great
value to legal practitioners, officials of the EC and other
economic unions, academics, and students as well as to the wider
public interested in the process of European integration.
