Free movement of persons: workers and establishment – brief history of the Article 45 TFEU.
Freedom of movement and the right of residence in all Member States is one of the fundamental rights of European citizenship. It was established as the one of the “four rights” envisaged in 1957 on the base of Treaty of Rome, known also as Treaty establishing The European Economic Community. What is the crucial point of the TEEC is its proposition of progressive reduction of customs duties and the establishment of a customs union. It proposed to create a common market of goods, workers, services and capital within the EEC's member states. It also proposed the creation of common transport and agriculture policies and a European social fund. Furthermore it played a crucial role in construction and development of internal market between the countries that signed up the Treaty.
To achieve the objective of an increase standard of living and economic expansion, and to be able to achieve one market where goods could move freely, it was necessary to have the fullest possible mobility of the economically active part of the population in order to achieve a single labour market.[1]
Following objectives are included in the original Treaty resolutions and clarified in the articles focused on concerns such as free movement of workers (nowadays these are Articles 45-48 TFEU), self-employed persons (49-55 TFEU) and the the provision of services (56-62 TFEU).
The provisions of Article 45 TFEU are further developed in Council Regulation 1612/68 of 15 October 1968 on freedom of movement for workers within the Community and Council Directive 68/360/EEC of 15 October 1969 on the abolition of restrictions on movement and residence within the Community for workers of Member States and their families.
