Does the UK have an opt-out?tt wrote:I imagine that angle will eventually be covered by EC Directive 2004/38/EC, which the UK and the rest of the EU had (or will have) to adopt by 30 April, 2006.
I wonder if other EU member states are getting tired of this "liberal definition" of family members, especially spouses. Denmark and the Netherlands are two that have put in place measures to control spouse migration and they can't be happy to see this bypass exist.That allows 5 years to permanent residency for EU citizens in another EU State, along with their non-EU family members (which has a fairly liberal definition).
Interesting that this Directive gets rid of the requirement totally for EU citizens to get Residence Permits during their first 5 years of residence. (They might require a registration certificate depending on the country, and their non-EU family members would need a residence card).
