Free movement of persons: report by the High-Level Panel chaired by Mrs Simone Veil

As the report of the High-Level Panel on the free movement of persons chaired by Mrs Simone Veil was not available in all the official languages of the Community, the vote on the report by Mrs Anne-Marie SCHAFFNER (UPE, F) was held over to a later part-session. The report basically puts forward proposals to provide legal assistance to help citizens exercise their rights. Mrs SCHAFFNER also hopes that steps will be taken to facilitate the regrouping of families and calls for a distinction to be established between social security benefits, which can be exported, and social assistance which cannot be exported and is linked to the place of residence.
