Court of Justice 20 January 2016, C-561/14 (Caner Genc v Integrationsministeriet.)

Also known as

Advocate General Mengozzi considered that Article 13 of Decision No 1/80 covers national measures introduced after its entry into force which make family reunification between a lawfully employed Turkish worker and a minor child more difficult, because such measures may adversely affect the worker’s exercise of free movement. Although successful integration may constitute an overriding reason in the public interest, the Advocate General considered that Denmark’s requirement that a minor child demonstrate sufficient ties to Denmark after a two-year period was disproportionate and therefore precluded by Article 13.AI
