The answer is simple. You want free movement, either pay the fines you have acrued or appeal them and get them cancelled.

The Maastricht treaty does not, AFAIK, remove a country's right to stop people leaving the country if they want to. If it did allow total freedom throughout europe, as you are implying, we would not be allowed to imprison anyone.
