While the directive’s rules governing migration of employed and self-employed people hardly differ from previous EU law, the migration and social-welfare rights of non-working EU citizens have been significantly extended.
Si la directive diffère peu du droit communautaire antérieur en ce qui concerne les migrations de salariés et de travailleurs indépendants, elle élargit considérablement les droits des citoyens de l’UE qui ne travaillent pas.
