To
my
mind
,
the
weighing
of
the
different
interests
involved
does
not
lead
to
a
clear
and
unavoidable
conclusion
in
the
present
case
.
In
other
words
,
the
conflicting
arguments
are
more
or
less
in
balance
and
a
decision
in
either
direction
is
arguable
.
In
these
circumstances
,
it
seems
to
me
that
it
should
be
left
to
the
national
authorities
to
balance
the
interests
involved
.
Since
the
applicants
’
interests
have
not
been
overlooked
and
reasonable
and
foreseeable
legal
principles
were
applied
,
I
believe
that
the
majority
should
have
shown
more
restraint
.
Their
conclusion
sets
aside
the
balancing
exercise
carried
out
by
the
national
authorities
without
,
however
,
giving
a
clear
message
capable
of
contributing
to
a
fair
national
immigration
policy
.
