The Four Freedoms of the European Common Market and their Meta-Level

Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 4,75 / 5, Vrije University Brussel, language: English, abstract: This text analyses why the Four European Freedoms are such important elements of the development of the EU. In our daily life it seems to be normal that we can travel from one European Member State to another without any passport or custom control; that we can live, work, study and do business everywhere in the EU. In every Member State at least more than two-thirds and overall 81% support the related Freedom of "Free Movement of Persons". The Freedom of Movement of Persons is one of the "Four Freedoms" that are fundamental for the EU.
