I heard that during a meeting last year, the Ministers of Justice and Home Affairs of France, Italy, Spain and Germany agreed on abolishing the requirement to obtain a residence card (tarjeta de residencia in Spain) for citizens of one of those countries who work (not the retirees) in another (employees as well as self-employed) as from 1 January 2001 onwards. However, it seems that the necessary steps for the implementation of that decision are not yet taken. Does anyone have any news on when this requirement will fall?
