Glossary
The EMN Glossary – as one of the key products of the EMN - improves comparability by enabling a common understanding and use of terms and definitions relating to asylum and migration. The Glossary draws on a variety of sources, but primarily on the legislation of the EU asylum and immigration acquis, and makes terms available in the majority of EU Member State languages.
The online version is regularly updated and available in various languages.

Comments
In the EU context, the right of residence for EU citizens is covered by Council Directive 2004/38/EC (Free Movement Directive) which differentiates between the right of residence for up to three months (Art. 6) and the right of residence for more than three months (Art. 7). EEA and Swiss citizens enjoy the same rights as Union citizens within the European area of free movement.
