The report focuses on the possibilities and opportunities for European citizens and third-country nationals arising from the use of the free movement of persons established by the EC Treaty. Although migration, and especially European migration, may be studied from several different perspectives (which may take into consideration many important social, sociological and economic problems), the report focuses only on the legal aspects, and, moreover, only on few legal aspects, adopting the particular perspective of studying the legal choices and opportunities that migration between European countries may offer to European citizens and to third-country nationals settled in Europe (i.e. once they have crossed the external borders or in the cases where they can avail themselves of European law relating to the free movement of persons).
