Abstract

New member States of the Union are under gradually more strict transitional agreements that limit the freedom of movement of their citizens. In the case of Romania and Bulgaria, the latest admitted countries, this denied equality has had serious consequences in terms of human rights and application of the EU laws. Because freedom of movement is not protected enough by the texts and the institutions, States now represent a growing threat to this fundamental freedom of the Union. In a dramatic move over the 2010 summer, the French government took advantage of this insufficient protection to deport members of the Roma minority to Romania and Bulgaria, thus creating a precedent of massive deportations of Union citizens to a member State of the Union.
