Abstract

The article is an attempt to analyse Directive 2004/38/EC o f 29 April 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. This document constitutes a turning-point in the regulation of the principles of exercising a right which belongs to the most important human rights. The enforcement of the directive is expected to eliminate most of the legal doubts that have existed so far, and to standardise the manner of application of the rules in force regarding the freedom of movement of people and the right of residence in the European Union member states.
