EU Family Reunification under Revision

The right to respect family life is a basic human right protected by large number of international documents. Contemporary migrations could make realization of that right a challenging task, and especially so in cases where family members are separated from each other as a refuges. Directive 2003/86/EC on the right to family reunification set out common rules of law relating to the right to family reunification but there are so many questions concerning protection of family unit and facilitation of integration of nationals of non-member countries that should be regulated by national law. In this paper, we will first discus some diversities in national legislation concerning protection of family reunification rights, especially to the determination of family status as a base for the protection. In the second part of the paper, we will give comprehensive analyses of relevant legal practise of CJEU and its influence to recent development of national family reunification legal standards. In that light, we will try to determine the main obstacles in the effective implementation of family reunion legislation, point to specific answers arising from the relevant CJEU practice and finally discuss the direction of the possible future development of the European and national legislation in this legal area.
