The article explores this cooperation in the light of theories on administrative networks. It is concluded that the flexible network structures present within the field may increase efficiency and simplify the exercise of rights of free movement. At the same time, the complexity of the system raises questions on democratic accountability and legitimacy of the decision-making. It is suggested that adherence to the principles of allocation of decision-making competence provided by the regulations may provide a partial solution to those concerns. (Less)
