Calls for further clarification of the concept of temporary and occasional provision of services; argues that competent authorities face difficulties applying the regime and, therefore, calls on the Commission to evaluate the current provisions set out in Article 7 of the directive, specifically those concerning public health and safety, and to evaluate the option of supplementing the above- mentioned provisions of Article 7(1) with a requirement to supply all information on the service provision that is relevant and necessary in order to assess its temporary and occasional nature, providing evidence that the service provider has no criminal convictions, and to present its conclusions to Parliament;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 24

24. Considers that the concept of a voluntary Professional Card, which must be linked to an electronic database such as the IMI, could be a useful tool to aid mobility for some professions, excluding those (professions) for which the application of compensatory measures is required; stresses that any card introduced must meet specific conditions and that the necessary safeguards must be established;

Paragraph 25

25.

Motion for a resolution
Recital S - introductory

S. whereas, on the basis of the information gathered, notably through national parliaments’ answers to Parliament's questionnaire, which is unfortunately not exhaustive and does not cover all the Member States, and in addition to the Commission Report, the following main issues were identified ~~as problematic~~:

Alfredo ANTONIOZZI, Urszula GACEK

Motion for a resolution
Recital S - indent 1

– ~~restrictive~~ interpretation by Member States of the notion of "family member" (Article 2), of "any other family member" and of "partner" (Article 3), particularly in relation to same sex partners, and their right to free movement under Directive 2004/38/EC,

Alfredo ANTONIOZZI, Urszula GACEK

Motion for a resolution
Recital S - indent 1 - footnote

1 CY, PL and SK do not recognise same sex marriages as a reason to grant free movement rights, PL and SK do not recognise registered partnerships, even if certified in another Member States; information in this regard provided by the Commission, the FRA and NGOs further proofs legal uncertainty on this issue; Italy does on recognise to same-sex couples free movement rights on grounds of public policy; there is a general trend against the recognition of third/fourth spouses.deleted

2009/02/18
Committee: LIBE

2008/2184(INI)

Alfredo ANTONIOZZI, Urszula GACEK

Motion for a resolution
Recital S - indent 3

– the interpretation by Member States of "sufficient resources" under Article 7(1)(b) of Directive 2004/38/EC is often unclear ~~and unfriendly~~, as most Member States require that evidence of sufficient resources be given; the notion of "unreasonable burden to the social assistance system of the host member State" and if and in what cases the decision to expel a citizen of the Union who has become an unreasonable burden (Article 14, recital 10) is in many Member States uncertain as well,

Motion for a resolution
Recital S - indent 3 - footnote

1 Several letters of complaint and petitions addressed to EU Institutions highlight that some Member States are reluctant to fully recognise their rights to third countries family members; by way of example, UK, Lithuanian and Polish legislation preclude a non-EU family member from entering without a visa.deleted

Motion for a resolution
Recital S - indent 5 - footnote

1 In some cases (Greece) competent authorities are allowed by national law to ask for the criminal record of the EU citizen applying for registration, while in other Member States (for instance in Spain and Belgium) special ID cards and residence cards are issued for other member States nationals; In some Member States (ES) in addition to the registration certificate, EU citizens are given a Foreigner Identity Number which is necessary in order to work or register in the social security system; in Italy EU citizens are required to prove the “legality” of their resources.deleted

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2

2. Calls on Member States to fully implement the r~~ights granted~~ules set out under Article 2 and Article 3 of Directive 2004/38/EC not only to different sex spouses, but also to registered partners, members of the household and partners, including same- sex couples and irrespective of nationality, on the basis of the principles of mutual recognition, equality, non- discrimination, dignity, private and family life; in this regard, calls the Commission to issue strict guidelines, in addition drawing on the analysis and conclusions contained in the Fundamental Rights Agency report;, and to facilitate as host Member States, in accordance with the host State's national legislation, the freedom of movement of other members of the household and registered partners not covered by the definitions listed in Article 2; in this regard, calls the Commission to issue strict guidelines;"

Motion for a resolution
Article 5

5. Calls on Member States not to introduce legislation that imposes disproportionate or discriminatory sanctions on Union citizens, such as imprisonment in the event of expulsion from the territory of the host Member State, providing that it is an aggravating circumstance in relation to a criminal offence committed by a Union citizen if that citizen had previously been illegally staying in another Member State or providing that the automatic consequence of a minor criminal conviction, which does not undermine public security, is expulsion;
