REFERENCES

The legal basis for freedom of movement in the European Community is, for salaried workers, Article 39 and after of the EC Treaty, and for the self-employed Article 43 and after relating to freedom of movement, and also Article 50 and after for freedom to provide services.

The decree incorporating these articles into French law is Decree 94-211 of 11 March 1994, amended by Decree 98-864 of 23 September 1998.
Law No 2003-1119 of 26 November 2003 (the “Sarkozy law”).
