Reading the small print: will Cameron’s EU migration reforms pass legal muster?

Abstract

The draft renegotiation deal obtained by David Cameron would amend three EU laws relating to migration: the free movement of citizens, their right to seek work in another Member State, and their right to claim social security benefits. Steve Peers explains what the proposals will mean and looks at whether they may be liable to legal challenge. He concludes that other Member States will probably accept the amendments on family members and may agree to the child benefit reforms, but the changes on in-work benefits are highly vulnerable
