"En 1958, le traité de Rome met en place en Europe la libre circulation des travailleurs et la coordination de la sécurité sociale. 50 ans après, des milliers de ressortissants européens, considérés une « charge économique déraisonnable », se font expulser d'un de ses pays fondateurs, la Belgique. Et ce n'est pas le seul. Le Conseil européen des 18 et 19 février 2016 a démontré qu'il s'agit d'une stratégie, dont le but est de séparer l'accès au marché du travail de l'accès à la sécurité sociale."

"While the free movement of people is one of the four basic freedoms of the EU, the Single European Labour Market is still far from completion. Today, around 3% of EU citizens and an even smaller number of EU residents from third countries take advantage of the opportunities that the freedom of movement offer. In an effort to contribute to the advancement of the Single European Labour Market, and countering current popular political argumentation, this report by Claire Dhéret, Alex Lazarowicz, Francesco Nicoli, Yves Pascouau and Fabian Zuleeg aims to explore the strategic potential of intra-EU labour mobility for the benefit of the European (Monetary) Union, individual member-state economies and mobile workers themselves.
To this end, the authors propose an ambitious and comprehensive strategy towards labour mobility. This strategy aims to address obstacles to mobility, as well as create incentives to encourage people to move. It also aims to reinforce the role of public policies, both at the EU and national level, in order to address potential costs and optimise a better allocation of human resources."

"Since 1999, EU labour migration has remained a field in which member states have proven to be reluctant to adopt common rules, thus neglecting to develop a sound and comprehensive EU labour migration policy. This situation is not satisfactory given forthcoming demographic and economic challenges which call for a rethink of an EU-wide migration policy, addressing the issue of common admission rules in the framework of the Single European Labour Market. However, current economic difficulties and the ‘populist' political climate hamper the ability to take this step further. As a result, EU labour migration policy is stuck between what already exists - which we can call the ‘first building block' - and what is needed in order to overcome future challenges - which we propose to conceptualise as the ‘third building block' - but which will not be put in motion now due to the economic and political climate.
In between is the ‘second building block‘, i.e. what is feasible and politically-acceptable to develop in the short term. This Issue Paper by Yves Pascouau argues that, for the time being, the only opportunity to move ahead is based on the development of intra-EU mobility facilities for migrant workers already residing in the member states. On the basis of this, Pascouau explores how intra-EU mobility could be improved at EU level. He first analyses the existing intra-EU mobility rules and concludes that the right to freedom of movement is awarded to limited categories of third-country nationals and under different regimes which do not make mobility attractive. The paper then proposes solutions to enhance intra-EU mobility for migrant workers that already reside in the EU."

"Depuis les arrêts Kohll et Decker, la jurisprudence de la Cour de justice de l'Union a profondément modifié les règles applicables à la mobilité des patients dans l'Union européenne. À côté des traditionnels règlements de coordination de sécurité sociale, c'est une nouvelle voie qui a été ouverte pour la prise en charge des soins hors de l'État d'affiliation. L'enjeu de la directive sur les droits des patients en matière de soins transfrontaliers, adoptée en mars 2011, est précisément de codifier les solutions jurisprudentielles, dégagées au cas par cas. À cette fin, la directive veille à concilier des impératifs qui peuvent être antagonistes : droit à la mobilité des patients fondé sur la libre prestation de services, reconnaissance de droits à leur profit, sauvegarde des intérêts financiers des caisses nationales de sécurité sociale, reconnaissance de la compétence de principe des États en matière de santé."
