The project focuses on the attempts by certain member states to undermine free movement of people.(1) ECU is addressing this issue by conducting independent research and producing a report with empirical evidence on the impact of free movement in the EU on benefit systems in the UK, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands. The report will discuss whether there is a systemic problem with existing free movement rules. An awareness and information campaign sheds light on the findings, and we continue to use this information to encourage MEPs to take an active stance on the issue.
