Abstract

This article examines the evolution of an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice in the European Union. First of all, we take into account free movement of persons, as a basis of this new concept. Moreover, it analyses several important steps given by Member States in relation to this common area: 1990 Convention of Schengen, the Amsterdam Treaty, the Nice Treaty and the European Constitution.
