Free movement of workers and their families: abolition of restrictions on movement and residence

The Council took note of the announcement by Mr MONTI that following the opinions given by Parliament the Commission proposed to make certain amendments to its proposals for a directive concerning the abolition of checks at internal borders and the right of third-country nationals to travel within the Community. On the other hand, the Commission did not intend to amend its proposal on the abolition of restrictions to the right of travel and residence within the Community of workers and their families, and on the abolition of restrictions to the right of travel and residence

within the Community of nationals of Member States as far as the establishment and provision of services was concerned.
