yes and no. They are free to live and work anywhere in the EU, but through multiple rules they are obligated to pay income, city and employment taxes in the country they live and work. I've heard that there are long term goals of unifying healthcare, retirement and the way work and local taxes are calculated so that it's more flexible and less based on small local bureaucracy. Similar to what they did with mobile phone subscriptions, where you pay to the country you spend your time in, but can use it anywhere. but that requires a lot more financial systems to interoperate.
