The European Union is not just about free trade, open borders and a common currency. It also gives every EU citizen, regardless of age, the right to travel, live, work, study and retire in any EU country they choose. And there are plenty of opportunities. This booklet tells you about those rights and opportunities. It points you to sources of more detailed information and encourages you to think seriously about the benefits and personal fulfilment to be gained through living, learning or working in another EU country.
