Recital 7

(7) The ~~main criterion for acquir~~duration of residence ing the ~~status of EU long-term resident~~territory of a Member State should not be the ~~duration of residence~~ sole criterion for acquiring the ~~territory of a Member State~~status of EU long-term resident. Residence should at any rate be both legal and continuous in order to show that the person has put down roots in the country. ~~Provision should be made for a degree of flexibility so that account can be taken of circumstances in which a person might have to leave the territory on a temporary basis.~~

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9

(9) The required period of residence for the acquisition of EU long-term resident status should be completed in the same Member State of application. ~~However, in order to promote the intra-EU mobility of third-country nationals, Member States should allow third-country nationals to cumulate periods of residence in different Member States.~~ With the aim to limit the attractiveness of investor residence schemes and in account of the fact that not all Member States have regulated this category of residence permits, Member States should not take into account periods of residence as a holder of a residence permit granted on the basis of any kind of investment in another Member State for the purpose of cumulating periods.

Committee: LIBE

Jean-Paul GARRAUD

Proposal for a directive
Recital 10

(10) ~~Any~~Not all periods of residence spent by a holder of a long-stay visa or residence permit issued under Union or national law should be counted for acquiring the EU long-term resident status, including periods of residence under a status or in a capacity that is excluded from the scope of the Directive, such as residence for study purposes or vocational training, residence as beneficiary of national or temporary protection, or residence initially based solely on temporary grounds. Where the third- country national concerned has acquired a title of residence which will enable him/her to be granted EU long-term resident status, these periods should be taken into account fully in the calculation of the period required to acquire EU long- term resident status, provided that the overall residence has been legal and continuous.

Committee: LIBE

Jean-Paul GARRAUD

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11

(11) To acquire EU long-term resident status, third-country nationals should prove that they have adequate resources and sickness insurance, to avoid becoming a burden for the Member State. Member States may indicate a certain sum as a reference amount, but they may not impose a minimum income level, below which all applications for EU long-term resident status would be refused, irrespective of an actual examination of the situation of each applicant. When making an assessment of the possession of stable and regular resources, Member States may take into account factors such as contributions to the pension system and fulfilment of tax obligations. The concept of ‘resources’ should not concern solely the ‘own resources’ of the applicant for EU long-term resident status, but may also cover the resources made available to that applicant by a third party provided that, in the light of the individual circumstances of the applicant concerned, they are considered to be stable, regular and sufficient.

Committee: LIBE

Jean-Paul GARRAUD

Proposal for a directive
Recital 12

(12) Member States should be able to require applicants for EU long-term resident status to comply with ~~integr~~assimilation conditions, for example by requiring them to pass a civic integration or language examination. However, the means for implementing this requirement should not be liable to jeopardise the objective of promoting the integration of third-country nationals, having regard, in particular, to the level of knowledge required to pass a civic integration examination, to the accessibility of the courses and material necessary to prepare for that examination, to the amount of fees applicable to third- country nationals as registration fees to sit that examination, or to the consideration of specific individual circumstances, such as age, illiteracy or level of education.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 24

(24) Where a Member State intends to end the legal stay , on a ground provided for in this Directive, of a beneficiary of international protection who has acquired EU long-term resident status in that Member State, and refoule him/her, that person should enjoy the protection against refoulement guaranteed under Directive 2011/95/EU and under Article 33 of the Geneva Convention. For that purpose, where the person enjoys international protection in a Member State other than the one in which that person is currently residing as a long-term resident, it is necessary to provide, unless refoulement is permitted under Directive 2011/95/EU, that that person may be required to go only to the Member State which granted international protection and that that Member State is obliged to take back that person. The same safeguards should apply to a beneficiary of international protection who has taken up residence but has not yet obtained EU long-term resident status in a second Member State.deleted

Proposal for a directive
Recital 26

(26) ~~In order to promote better integration of EU long-term residents, rules on favourable conditions for~~EU long-term resident status shall prohibit family reunification ~~and access to w~~, which is a majork for spouses should be introduced. Thus specific derogations from Council Directive 2003/86/EC should be provided for.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 27

(27) As family life should be respected and its protection is an essential element of the integration of EU long-term residents, children of EU long-term residents who are born or adopted in the territory of the EU Member State having issued to the latter the EU long-term residence permit should acquire the EU long-term resident status in that Member State automatically, in particular without being subject to the requirement of prior residence.deleted

Committee: LIBE

Jean-Paul GARRAUD

Proposal for a directive
Recital 28

(28) ~~Harmonisation of the terms of acquisition of the EU long-term resident status promotes mutual confidence between Member States. However, t~~This Directive should be without prejudice to the right of Member States to refuse to issue residence permits of permanent or unlimited validity other than the EU long- term residence permit. Such national residence permits, if awarded, should not confer the right to reside in other Member States without their approval.

2022/12/08
Committee: LIBE

Jean-Paul GARRAUD

Proposal for a directive
Recital 29

(29) Member States sh~~ould~~all remain free to ensure a level playing field between EU long-term residence permits and national residence permits of permanent or unlimited validity, in terms of procedural and equal treatment rights, procedures and access to information. In particular, Member States should ensure that the level of procedural safeguards and rights granted to EU long- term residents and their family members is not lower than the level of procedural safeguards and rights enjoyed by holders of national residence permits of permanent or unlimited validity. Member States should also ensurMember States may decide that applicants for an EU long-term residence permit are ~~not~~ required to pay higher fees for the processing of their application than applicants for national residence permits. Finally, Member States should engage in the same level of information, promotion and advertisement activities with respect to the EU long-term residence permit as they do for national residence permits of permanent or unlimited validity, for example with regard to information on national websites on legal migration and information campaigns, and training programmes provided to the competent migration authorities.

Jean-Paul GARRAUD

Proposal for a directive
Recital 30

(30) Residence of EU long-term residents in other Member States should be facilitated. Establishing the conditions subject to which the right to reside in another Member State may be acquired by third-country nationals who are EU long- term residents should contribute to the effective attainment of an internal market as an area in which the free movement of persons is ensured. The occupational and geographical mobility of third-country nationals who are already EU long-term residents in one Member State should be recognised as an important contributor to improving labour market efficiency across the Union, to addressing skills shortages and to offsetting regional imbalances.deleted

(37) Family members should also be able to settle in a second Member State with an EU long-term resident in order to preserve family unity and to avoid hindering the exercise of the EU long- term resident’s right of residence. With regard to the family members who may be authorised to accompany or to join the EU long-term residents, Member States should pay special attention to the situation of disabled adult children and of first-degree relatives in the direct ascending line who are dependent on them.deleted

Recital 42

(42) Since the objectives of this Directive , namely the determination of terms for conferring and withdrawing EU long-term resident status and the rights pertaining thereto and terms for the exercise of rights of residence by EU long-term residents in other Member States, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore, by reason of the scale and effects of the action, be better achieved by the Union , the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union .
