Re: Seeking Daueraufenthalt EG to settle in Spain

Council Directive 2003/109/EC

of 25 November 2003

concerning the status of third-country nationals who are long-term residents

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
.........
CHAPTER II LONG-TERM RESIDENT STATUS IN A MEMBER STATE
.......
Article 11

Equal treatment

1. Long-term residents shall enjoy equal treatment with nationals as regards:

(a) access to employment and self-employed activity, provided such activities do not entail even occasional involvement in the exercise of public authority, and conditions of employment and working conditions, including conditions regarding dismissal and remuneration;

Sounds like work with no Arbeitsamtcheck to me, at least for most jobs.

So the question is whether Spain has put this directive in complete force or no.
