Parliamentary Hearing on the Amendment of the German Free Movement Law
October 2014
Daniel Thym appeared in a hearing of the Home Affairs Committee of the German Bundestag on the proposal by the German government to amend the Free Movement Code in order to respond to what the Coalition Agreement of the current government described as ‘poverty migration’ within the European Union. In his written statement, Daniel Thym explains why the proposal complies with EU law, but fails nonetheless to address many of the core legal issues underlying the ongoing debate.
