Notes: Years that free movement of persons was first granted and for Switzerland the year that free movement with quotas was granted. The column shows the host country, with the row identifying the citizens of sending country. The UK ceased to be a member of the common labour market in 2020, though the original years are detailed here. Only Ireland and the UK have free movement.
