Abstract:

This master thesis examines the development of the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of nationality in the area of free movement of EU workers as regards equal access to social and tax advantages as defined in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 492/2011. In order to understand the legal system that facilitates the right to equal access to these benefits, the research paper begins by explaining the concept of the principle of equality and the notion of nondiscrimination, then moves on to the legal basis and analysis of the substantive scope of nationality discrimination in European Union law. The research provides a step-by-step application test on how to determine a case of direct or indirect discrimination and most importantly gives an overview of the entire case-law of the European Court of Justice on Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 492/2011.
