"As they deal with the same subject, the following Questions Nos 8 and 9 will be taken together. Is such discrimination between EU citizens compatible with the rules on EU citizenship? Question No 8 by Jonas Sjöstedt (): The Danish government has presented several proposals designed to tighten up Denmark's immigration laws. It is proposed amongst other things to raise the age limit for family unification to 24 in the case of marriage. This means that it will not be permitted for Danes under 24 years of age who choose a spouse from another country to live with that spouse in Denmark. Citizens over the age of 24, too, face restrictions if they marry someone who is not a citizen of a Nordic country. Does the Council consider that this draft Danish law restricts the freedom of movement for EU citizens and is thus incompatible with EU law? Question No 9 by Pernille Frahm (): How does the Council view the discriminatory treatment which would result from the Danish government's proposal concerning the right to family unification in Denmark for married couples where one spouse is a foreign citizen? In the case of marriage to a Danish citizen, only citizens of Nordic countries would have an immediate right to settle in Denmark under this proposal."@en1
