Country of Applicant: Kosovo
Keywords: Assessment of facts and circumstances, Family unity (right to), Personal circumstances of applicant, Return
It is necessary to make a proportionality assessment with consideration of both the gravity of the crime committed by the applicant and the interests of society, and the applicant’s individual rights, particularly his right to private and family life under Article 8.

Country of Decision: Austria
Country of Applicant: Afghanistan
Keywords: Dublin Transfer, Family reunification, Responsibility for examining application
Neither Austrian law nor the provisions of the Dublin III Regulation provide for legal remedies against a Member State’s rejection of a request for admission.

A later agreement after the remonstration period has expired cannot establish any responsibility.

Country of Applicant: Algeria
Keywords: Best interest of the child, Child Specific Considerations, Family member, Family unity (right to), Residence document
The Algerian Kafala system does not create a parent/child relationship within the meaning of direct descendant under Directive 2004/38 but it does fall under the notion of other family members of Article 3(2)(a) of the same Directive. The State must therefore make a balanced and reasonable assessment which considering the age of the child, the closeness of the relationship whether the family have lived together; potential risk of exploitation/trafficking and the best interests of the child....

Date: 15-03-2019
Country of Applicant: China
Keywords: Family reunification, Residence document

Date: 14-03-2019
Country of Applicant: Eritrea
Keywords: Best interest of the child, Family reunification, Family unity (right to)
Article 11(2) of Directive 2003/86 must be interpreted as precluding the rejection of an application for family reunification lodged by a sponsor in favour of a minor of whom she is allegedly the guardian solely on the grounds of lack of official documentary evidence of the family relationship and the sponsor’s inability to explain the absence of such evidence being deemed implausible on the basis of general country of origin information.
Authorities have to take into consideration the specific circumstances of the sponsor and the minor,...
Date: 13-03-2019
