After the world war two the Europe was periled: it was disjointed, the economies of majority European countries were devastated and the contravention of the equipoise in Europe menaced it to face the upcoming economical and political catastrophes in region, the situation acquired immediate handicapping, betimes the idea how to resolve problems and the remedy of the situation arose in Sir Winston Churchill’s words: “Recreate the European Family or as much of it as we can and provide it with a structure under which it can dwell in peace in safety and in freedom. We must build a kind of United States of Europe” and this words stimulated the main European countries to establish the “European United States” another “land of opportunity”, without borders and with much more opportunities and capacity to achieve a better life. In 1957 was signed the Treaty of Rome which laid the essential legal foundations for European Committee.
After the establishing the European Committee its main tasks regarded to the achieving the high point of standard of living and economical expansion, for further development of mentioned tasks the Internal Market was subsisted by the EC treaty provisions which was the incarnation of Sir Winston Churchill’s idea and significant tool of economic integration, no boarders, no custom duties and the abolition of barriers to the free movement of goods, services, workers and capital within the member states known as the ‘four freedoms’, was the great step towards the European consolidation.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The first chapter explores the historical development of the principle of free movement of workers, starting with the aftermath of World War II and the European Union’s formation. It highlights the Treaty of Rome's role in establishing the European Economic Community and its focus on economic integration, including the "four freedoms."

The second chapter provides a detailed analysis of the free movement of workers, one of the "four freedoms" crucial to the Internal Market. It breaks down the principle into its three key elements: the right to move and reside in another member state, the right to access that state's job market, and the right to move with family members. It also examines the relevant articles in the EC Treaty (Articles 39-42) and how they've been expanded through secondary legislation and court decisions.

The third chapter delves into the definition of a "worker" in the context of free movement. It notes that the treaty and secondary legislation lack a clear definition, leading to the concept evolving through court cases. Two main interpretations of "worker" are discussed: a formal aspect and an economic aspect. The chapter then examines key legal decisions, including Lawrie-blum vs Land Baden Wurttemberg, which provide further insights into the definition of "worker."
