eunion1-5, Exercise 1: Free movement against Schengen

Model answer:

Free movement of people is a right of EU citizens to live, work and study in other member states, part of the treaties and the single market. The Schengen area is an agreement to abolish routine border checks between participating countries; it concerns crossing borders, not the right to settle, and its membership is not the same as the EU's.

Examples: Ireland is an EU member whose citizens enjoy free movement but it is outside Schengen. Switzerland (or Norway or Iceland) is outside the EU but inside Schengen.
