Questions referred







1.


What is the meaning of Article 6(2) of the Returns Directive? (1) Does it mean that a third-country national must be requested to return immediately from the Member State in which he or she is staying illegally to the Member State in which he or she has a valid residence permit, unless the third-country national’s immediate departure is required for reasons of public policy or national security?










2.


Does the Returns Directive or other EU law provide guidance on what the consequence is of a national authority not issuing the necessary request pursuant to Article 6(2) of the Returns Directive? Does a failure to issue the necessary request mean that the removal decision and the decision banning return are invalid?










3.


If Article 6(2) of the Returns Directive entails such a request and consequence, is it sufficiently clear and precise to have direct effect?










4.


Is national legislation, such as the Swedish rule in Paragraph 6 a of Chapter 8 of the Law on foreign nationals, which creates additional exemptions from a possible obligation to issue a [request], compatible with EU law?






(1)  Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third-country nationals (OJ 2008 L 348, p. 98).
