Belgium denied residency permits to 15,000 EU nationals
By EUobserver
Belgium removed the residency rights of 15,000 EU nationals who wanted to live there over the past ten years because they could not financially support themselves and were a burden to the state, according to a University of Liège study, reported by The Brussels Times. The figures, albeit small, showed the limits of EU free movement, with 21 out of the 27 EU states having similar laws in place.
