Abstract

This chapter sums up the findings regarding the EEA integration process extending into the system of social welfare benefits for non-economically active moving EEA citizens. The chapter discusses the sensitive character of expanding national boundaries of solidarity and points to the fundamental difference between the EU and the EEA integration process. Paralleling the EU legal system in the EEA free movement law arguably is in demand of political decision making rather than building on the principle of homogeneity however fundamental this principle is.
