European integration was conceived, from its beginning, as based on a po - litically democratic and economically open system, thus attributing to free - dom of movement a central place in the design of such international inte - gration experiment. But it is also true that integration has been hampered, from a certain time on, by the growing divergences of interests, strategies and factual conditions among the participating States.
