Objective
The issue of family reunification applies not only to third-country nationals seeking to obtain permission for their family members to join them in an EU Member State but also affects EU nationals and thus goes to the heart of the free movement of persons. This seminar will provide legal practitioners with an in-depth analysis of the relevant legislative measures, the most recent and important developments in jurisprudence and the impact of European human rights instruments on this matter.
Key topics
- The Family Reunification Directives and their interpretation
- Overview of ECJ jurisprudence and its impact in the Member States
- EU nationals, free movement and reunification with their third country national family members
- European human rights instruments and their impact on the right to family reunification
