Abstract
This paper discusses the types of restrictions of the freedom of movement of people within the European Union. The rights derived from this freedom (right to exit, right to enter, right to short-term residence, right to long-term residence) are not absolute. There are some limitations laid down in the EU treaties and in the secondary EU legislation (mainly in the Directive 2004/38/EC). The author discusses these restrictions by distinguishing between formal and material restrictions, taking into account the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice. The conclusions from this part are confronted with the events which were taking place in August and September 2010 in France. In that time, this member state took action, on an unprecedented scale, on the removal of Roma camps and expelled thousands of Roma migrants (with or without their consent). Three circu- lars issued by the ministers of the French Republic on the disposal of the Roma camps are analysed in this paper. The author suggests that the actions of France could be characterised by the effort at the level of intention to overlook the rights of Roma migrants as citizens of the EU, who enjoyed the freedom of movement. He asks whether administrative practice in France had been compliant with EU law. In the author’s opinion, the French action al- most completely ignored the fundamental non-discrimination principle enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and in the thirty-first recital of the preamble to Directive 2004/38/CE.
