Summary

The chapter focuses on the evolution of the free movement framework in the period after the Single European Act and before the failed Constitutional Treaty. It presents the institutional ambition to disconnect economic objectives from the exercise of free movement rights, in an attempt to create a political community of European nationals. It shows how this ambition was reflected in the case-law of the Court, underlining that economic considerations were never detached from the relevant secondary law.
