Abstract
Established by the Treaty of Rome in 1957, the free movement of labour across the European Union is a fundamental right enjoyed by all EU citizens. It forms a core principle on which the notion of a prosperous, peaceful and integrated Europe rests.
Even so, Europeans have historically exercised their right to move freely across the EU far less than predicted due to linguistic and cultural barriers that have kept many Europeans tied to their national labour markets.
