Brussels, 25/09/2014 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission sent a reasoned opinion to Greece on Thursday 25 September for its failure to transpose the so-called single permit directive which introduces a single application procedure for single permits for non-EU nationals to reside and work in the EU. It also provides minimum set of social rights, on a par with those of nationals (apart from social housing). The directive should have been transposed by 25 December 2013. (SP)
