Welcome to lunch seminar on "Free movement and the active welfare state".

Presentation by Nicolas Rennuy, Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of York.

The workshop reflects on the meaning of solidarity in the context of free movement law. Maria Haag explores the shift in the Court of Justice’s jurisprudence in welfare solidarity from a social integration approach to an allegedly ‘neutral’ reliance on secondary rules. Niamh Nic Shuibhne asks whether precise legal obligations can be transposed to the free movement of persons from the more abstract principle of solidarity in EU law. Turning to free movement of goods, Alessandro Petti discusses the relationship between autonomy and solidarity on the basis of the EU Covid-19 vaccines purchase and export mechanism.
