Abstract: Abstract It has long been argued that the social dimension has been neglected in the course of the European integration process (e.g. Lange, 1993, p. 28). However, the status of the social dimension as a mere complement to market integration does not imply its insignificance. The Union guarantees employees the possibility to move within the Union without being penalised in terms of entitlement to social benefits. Member states are therefore constrained with regard to their migration legislation vis-à-vis EU citizens.
