"To ensure that EU citizenship does not remain a mere concept and provides citizens with practical opportunities, I believe that there are some legislative, implementation-related and information gaps that need to be eliminated. EU citizenship will operate properly when the procedure for settling in another Member State does not entail additional problems compared with the situation in the Member State of origin. From a legislative perspective, improving the system for recognising professional qualifications, facilitating the portability of pensions and other social rights, providing broader access to banking services or facilitating the re-registration process for vehicles when they are moved from one state to another are just some examples of the reforms required. European citizens are more than just consumers. They are people who get married, divorced, gain inheritances and the like. When partners are of different nationalities or have lived in several Member States, these circumstances must not complicate matters. We recently adopted the regulation on succession. We greatly need such initiatives which set out clear rules and make people’s lives simpler in cross-border situations. Last but not least, providing information plays a vital role. The ‘Your Europe’ portal has been revamped and provides extensive information about various initiatives. I believe that this must continue to be promoted and developed."@en1
