"May 1, 2006, 
is ... the deadline for implementing 
the European Union’s directive 
on freedom of movement into national law. ..."

" While the directive’s rules
 governing migration 
of employed and self-employed people 
hardly differ from previous EU law,
 the migration and social-welfare rights
 of non-working EU citizens 
have been significantly extended"

 According to the directive, 
every EU citizen has the right 
to a residence permit for up to five years
 in any member state,
 followed by the right to permanent residence.
 In principle, even inactive immigrants 
will then be eligible for social-welfare benefits,
 just like nationals. 

Nevertheless, even during the five-year period, an immigrant will enjoy greater rights. If he becomes indigent after receiving a residence permit, he cannot automatically be returned to his home country, as was possible before. Instead, the welfare state must make its services available to him. ... Nor can the duration of the residence permit be shortened... 

When the five years of legal residence are completed, an immigrant automatically gains the inalienable right to permanent residence. The host country cannot deny this right even if an immigrant has no health insurance and no resources to live on. The immigrant will be fully eligible for all benefits the host country offers...

The incentives to make use 
of the new directive 
will be especially strong
 for East Europeans. 
Today, average nominal wages in the eight post-communist EU countries are about one-fifth of the West European level and often only a quarter to a half of Western levels of social assistance. The real differences in living standards are not quite as large, but they are a temptation nonetheless. ...

The directive on free movement implies a new era of ... migration into West European welfare states. The result may be an erosion of these welfare states themselves. As no West European state wants welfare immigration, and because they are unable to discriminate between nationals and EU immigrants, they will begin to reduce their services. Europe will enter an extended period of competitive deterrence, during which it will gradually abandon its old social values. ...

There is still time to avert these frightening effects. But, to do so, the directive on free movement must be changed, so that the right to immigrate does not automatically imply a right to social benefits. If the home country were to remain responsible for welfare services to non-working immigrants, the erosion of West European welfare states that the theory of systems competition predicts could be halted. But that would mean a substantial change in the direction of EU social policies, including revision of the draft constituti
