Abstract: Years after the completion of the Common Market the needy and unemployed still lack the right to take residence in the EU member country they choose. The Amsterdam Treaty, however, aims at realizing an “area of freedom” for every citizen. This requires compatible systems of social aid. The article discusses possible solutions drawing on the normative framework of Constitutional Economics. The question to be answered is therefore: Which system of state aid to the needy could European citizens agree upon? We suggest a variant of the so called “differential principle” that allows for “migration neutrality” by adapting the aid level of the home country to the price level in the country of residence.
