Single Market programme: Citizens' rights and the Single Market. A series of problems encountered by citizens when trying to exercise their Single Market rights have been resolved recently following the Commission's intervention with the Member States concerned. These cases were solved by contacts with the Member States' authorities before they had to be referred to the European Court of Justice, and sometimes before formal infringement procedures were opened. The problems concerned such issues as difficulties in obtaining the right of residence, unjustified expulsions, failure to obtain recognition of professional qualifications and difficulties in importing cars and motorcycles for personal use.
