Citizens' Rights: introduction

ECAS’ mission is to enable NGOs and individuals to make their voice heard with the EU. One of our objectives is to defend European citizenship rights.

Despite the promise of the "four fundamental freedoms" with the creation of the single market on 1 January 1993, many citizens still do not enjoy full freedom of movement within the EU.

ECAS works on Citizens' rights by three methods:

• Helping citizens and hearing from them
• Contributions to policy making
• Creating networks  and doing projects which have tended to concentrate on the impact of enlargement on free movement.
