The Commission adopted guidelines to help ensure better transposition and application of Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of EU citizens and their families to move and reside freely.
We noted a while back we noted the Commission's report on the parlous state of implementation of the directive.
The guidelines aim to offer assistance to member States on the measures they can take to tackle criminality, abuse and marriages of convenience.
A press release on the Guidelines is available here and a short description of their content is available here.
UPDATE: The Guidelines are now available in final form as document COM (2009) 313.
New Guidelines here
