2017
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present the specific position of the outermost regions of the EU regarding freedom of movement of persons in the EU. To which extent EU migration law applies to these EU regions located outside the European continent? What are the derogations to the common regime of freedom of movement of persons? The paper will answer to these questions by examining a particular case, the case of Réunion island, a French oversea region located in the Indian Ocean.
