      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Does Article 20 TFEU preclude a third-country national from being refused a residence permit because of lack of means of subsistence in a family situation in which his spouse is the carer of a child who is a citizen of the Union and the third-country national is not that child’s parent or carer and does not live with his spouse or with that child?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               If the answer to Question 1 is in the negative, must the effect of Article 20 TFEU be assessed differently if the third-country national who does not have a residence permit, and does not live in Finland, and his spouse have a child, in their joint care and living in Finland, who is a third-country national?
