Any definition as to which persons are family members should draw inspiration from Articles 2 and 3 of the, as defined in Directive 2004/38/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States., under the same conditions as to third country family members of its own nationals, taking into account that Member States may not be in a position to deliver all types of consular protection to third country family members, notablysuch as emergency travel documents are not being issued.
