Rights of Third Country Nationals in European Union Law

edit

While a number of EU directives have established a right of third country nationals to take up residence with EU citizen family members exercising their right of free movement in another state, the case-law of the European Court of Justice has sent conflicting and confusing messages regarding the rights of third country nationals. These include the cases of Mouvement contre le racisme, l'antisémitisme et la xénophobie ASBL (MRAX) v Belgian State,[1] Secretary of State for the Home Department v Hacene Akrich,[2] Jia v Migrationsverket,[3] and Commission v Spain.[4]
