Recital 3
(3) The free movement of workers gives every citizen the right to move freely to another Member State to work and reside there for that purpose. It protects them against discrimination on the grounds of nationality as regards employment, remuneration and other working conditions, as stated in Article 45(2) TFEU, by ensuring their equal treatment in comparison to nationals of that Member State. It needs to be distinguished from the freedom to provide services, which includes the right of undertakings to provide services in another Member State, for which they may send (‘post’) their own workers to another Member State temporarily to carry out the work necessary to provide these services there.
