Abstract :
[en] The four freedoms of movement (people, goods, capital and services), enshrined in the 1957 Treaty of Rome as part of the internal market, are central to the European project. The principle of the free movement of people, a basic human right, took on a new dimension on 14 June 1985, when five Member States of the European Community – Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany – concluded the Schengen Agreement, paving the way for European citizenship and leading to a single area of security and justice. Forty years on, it is worth taking a closer look at this important milestone.
