"Mr President, I would like to talk about those issues that are, in my opinion, questionable. I include in this area the actual definition of a so-called intelligent perspective on acquiring right of residence.
This vague definition from the Green Paper may be unsafe, particularly if, in leaving Member States too much room for interpretation, it results in no third-country citizen being able to sponsor a family member. In some Member States, a potential sponsor must live within the territory of the state for at least two years before requesting the admission of a family member. Requirements such as this are made mainly in order to try and monitor the behaviour and financial situation of the applicant as a potential sponsor. This gives rise to a politically constructed temporal and spatial exclusion of families. Many non-governmental organisations have drawn attention to the fact that this is a breach of the right to private family life, as set out in Article 8 of the Convention. It may also be a breach of the right to married life and the principle of non-discrimination.
For this reason, I am in favour of shortening the procedure and the waiting time. The report on implementation of the directive and the Green Paper also list problems and shortcomings with implementation of the directive at national level. They both express concern over transposition of the directive. They conclude that Member States were given too much leeway in the application of some of the provisions."@en1
