Family life is a right for migrants too - how to ensure it?
Is there a need to change the EU rules on family reunification of migrants? By publishing its Green Paper on the right to family reunification of non-EU nationals living in the EU, the European Commission launched the debate
Brussels, 15 November 2011 – By publishing its Green Paper on the application by the Member States of the right to family reunification in accordance with the Directive 2003/86/EC, the Commission reopens the debate on the right to family reunification for non-EU nationals living in the EU.
Depending on the outcome of the consultation, the Commission will decide whether any policy follow-up is necessary – such as setting up new guidelines, modifying the current rules or leaving the legislation as it is.
