free movement definition
free movement which means you don’t need to get a visa to go and live in another EU country. The Leave campaign also objected to the idea of a “ever closer union” and what they see as moves towards the creation of a “United States of Europe”. The remain campaign UK Prime Minister ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ wanted Britain to stay in the EU. He sought an agreement with other EU leaders to change the terms of Britain’s mem- bership. Sixteen members of the PM’s cabinet also backed staying in. The Conservative Party pledged to be neutral in the campaign – but the Labour Party, Scottish National Party (SNP), Wales’ Plaid Cymru and the Lib Dems were all in favour of staying in. US President ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ also wanted Britain to remain in the EU, as did other EU nations such as France and Germany. Those campaigning for Britain to stay in the EU argued it gets a big boost from membership – it makes selling things to other EU countries easier and, they argued, the flow of immigrants, most of whom are young and keen to work, fuels economic growth and helps pay for public services. They also said Britain’s status in the world would be damaged by leaving and that the UK is more secure as part of the 28 nation club, rather than going it alone.

free movement means movement by the traditional inhabitants for or in the course of traditional activities;
free movement means that any EU citizen (i.e. any person holding citizenship of one of the 28 member states of the EU) is entitled to move and freely take up employment in any other EU country. The beneficiaries of this freedom primarily include jobseekers, i.e. EU citizens who move to another EU country to look for a job. For economically inactive groups (such as retirees), the right to free movement and residence within the EU is conditional on health insurance and sufficient resources such that they won’t become an “unreasonable burden” on the host state (Costello and Hancox, 2014). However, family members of EU nationals working in another EU country are entitled to reside and work in that country (regardless of their nationality) and their children have the right to be educated there.
