(29) Member States should ensure a level playing field between EU long-term residence permits and national residence permits of permanent or unlimited validity, in terms of procedural and equal treatment rights, procedures and access to information. In particular, Member States should ensure that the level of procedural safeguards and rights granted to EU long- term residents and their family memberspouses and direct descendants is not lower than the level of procedural safeguards and rights enjoyed by holders of national residence permits of permanent or unlimited validity. Member States should also ensure that applicants for an EU long- term residence permit are not required to pay higher fees for the processing of their application than applicants for national residence permits. Finally, Member States should engage in the same level of information, promotion and advertisement activities with respect to the EU long-term residence permit as they do for national residence permits of permanent or unlimited validity, for example with regard to information on national websites on legal migration and information campaigns, and training programmes provided to the competent migration authorities.

(30) Residence of EU long-term residents in other Member States should be facilitated.

The occupational and geographical mobility of third-country nationals who are already EU long-term residents in one Member State shouldmay be recognised as an important contributor to improving labour market efficiency across the Union, to addressing skills shortages and to offsetting intra and inter-regional imbalances.
