European Developments

The European Commission has on July 13 2010 adopted a report setting out in a consolidated way the rights of Europeans to live and work in another EU country.

The report also provides an update on legal developments in the past decade. Currently, 2.3% of people in the EU reside in a Member State other than their own. However, a new 'Eurobarometer' survey also presented today finds that 17% of Europeans envisage working abroad in the future and 48% would consider looking for work in another country or region if they were to lose their job. More information on this is available here.

Still on EU developments, the European Commission has on July 7, 2010 launched a Europe-wide public debate on how to ensure adequate, sustainable and safe pensions and how the EU can best support the national efforts, for more information please click here.
