The right of every European to remain and build their future in the place they call home took centre stage at a high-level event held today at the European Parliament in Brussels, marking the launch of preparations for the EU's "Right to Stay" strategy. Cyprus' Finance Minister Makis Keravnos, speaking on behalf of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the EU, stressed that freedom of movement remains one of the EU's great achievements, but underlined that "mobility must remain a choice and not a necessity."
