WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH *** EEA-RESIDENT PERMIT***

[eurosceptic]

HI PEOPLE !

What's the deal with the so called EEA-RESIDENT PERMIT ?
EEA-means "European Economic Area"-witch means ALL the EU-countries plus FEW MORE (Norway, Iceland) WHOW !
Any "EEA-Resident permit" holder should HAVE THE RIGHT to reside and live in each of those countries,part of the EEA (All the EU+Norway,Iceland.)
OK SO WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE :

" You can only use your EEA-RESIDENT PERMIT in UK if you live in UK -AND IS ONLY VALID IN THAT COUNTRY"...bla bla bla

Same problem with EEA FAMILY PERMIT :

"You would need an EEA family permit from the British embassy. If you choose to move to France you would need an EEA family permit from the French Embassy. You can only use get your EEA family permit for the country your EU national spouse is moving to and it is only valid in that country"

The EEA-FAMILY PERMIT doesn't matter ,it's just temporary anyway...
But what about EEA-RESIDENT PERMIT which is valid for LIFE ?

WHY THEY CALL IT *EEA* if it's not valid all over EEA ?
WHY NOT JUST Uk-resident permit, or French-resident permit etc.
WHY THE HELL EEA !!!!!!!!!!IF IT DOESN'T MEAN *EEA* ?????????????
WHY NOT ABC OR BULLSHIT !!!

sorry...
PLEASE ANYONE MAKE IT CLEAR !!!!!!!![/b]

Hm .... this obviously gains its name from the fact that it emanates from an agreement of the EEA. That is, each country in the EEA has agreed to give the same rights of residence ... in its country.

What you say about an EEA Family Permit is not strictly true. France is of course in the Schengen area and thus a French-issued EEA Family Permit effectively gives total ability to move around all the countries of the Schengen area. After all, once inside the Schengen area there are no immigration-style checks, even when flying.
