And again, even if they agreed to something like that, how long would it be before they cancelled the concession?
What we should do is have a referendum on that as a "taking control of our borders" measure and then when people vote for it we can say "Aha!".Leave a comment:

Simply implement EUROPEAN DIRECTIVE 2004/38/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT.
"Article 7 Right of residence for more than three months 1. All Union citizens shall have the right of residence on the territory of another Member State for a period of longer than three months if they: (a) are workers or self-employed persons in the host Member State; or (b) have sufficient resources for themselves and their family members not to become a burden on the social assistance system of the host Member State during their period of residence and have comprehensive sickness insurance cover in the host Member State; or (c) – are enrolled at a private or public establishment, accredited or financed by the host Member State on the basis of its legislation or administrative practice, for the principal purpose of following a course of study, including vocational training; and – have comprehensive sickness insurance cover in the host Member State and assure the relevant national authority, by means of a declaration or by such equivalent means as they may choose, that they have sufficient resources for themselves and their family members not to become a burden on the social assistance system of the host Member State during their period of residence"
OK (a) allows low paid workers - but Switzerland manages to make it impossible, so could we.Last edited by sasguru; 12 June 2017, 15:17.
