Free movement of persons

The Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons (AFMP) is already part of the Bilaterals I package of 1999. It regulates the reciprocal right of Swiss nationals and nationals of EU member states to freely choose their place of work and residence within the territories of the contracting states parties. As part of the package approach, two aspects of the free movement of persons are being negotiated separately: wage protection and the Citizens' Rights Directive.
