"The European Union's top justice official said Thursday that a new rule allowing non-EU citizens with several years of residency to freely travel and work in other European Union countries would help bridge differences between EU citizens and legal immigrants. EU Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini said the new rule, which takes effect in January, would apply to 'non-EU workers who live more than five years' legally in an EU member country.
