Early July 2010, the European Commission released the results of a Eurobarometer (European survey) dedicated to geographical and labour market mobility. Among the most interesting findings of the report are the followings:

• 17% of Europeans envisage working abroad in the future, ranging from 51% in Denmark to just 4% in Italy;
• 34% of Europeans rate the chance of finding a job abroad better than at home;
• Unemployment is a key reason to move: 48% of Europeans would consider moving regions or countries for work should they lose their work.

On the same day, the European Commission presented a Communication entitled 'Reaffirming free movement of workers: rights and major developments'. The objective of the document is to give a full picture of the rights that may claim EU migrant workers, taking into account legislative and case-law developments.
