(7) In the 2010 EU Citizenship Report ‘Dismantling the obstacles to EU citizens rights’ of 27 October 2010 , the Commission identified the divergent and incorrect application of Union law on the right to free movement as one of the main obstacles that Union citizens are confronted with in the effective exercise of their rights under Union law. Accordingly, the Commission announced its intention to take action to ‘facilitate free movement of EU citizens and their third-country national family members by enforcing EU rules strictly, including on non-discrimination, by promoting good practices and increased knowledge or EU rules on the ground and by stepping up the dissemination of information to EU citizens about their free movement rights’ (action 15 of the 2010 EU Citizenship Report). Additionally the European Commission in the 2013 EU Citizenship report1 addressed the need to remove administrative hurdles and simplifying procedures for EU citizens living, working and travelling in the EU; the non-discriminatory availability of instruments facilitating citizens' access to their free movement rights should be an integral element of this. __________________ 1 COM(2013)0269
