1. Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 establishing common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and of cancellation or long delay of flights, and repealing Regulation (EEC) No 295/91, must be interpreted as meaning that circumstances such as the closure of part of European airspace as a result of the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano constitute ‘extraordinary circumstances’ within the meaning of that regulation which do not release air carriers from their obligation laid down in Articles 5(1)(b) and 9 of the regulation to provide care.
1. Članak 5. Uredbe (EZ) br. 261/2004 Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 11. veljače 2004. o utvrđivanju općih pravila odštete i pomoći putnicima u slučaju uskraćenog ukrcaja i otkazivanja ili dužeg kašnjenja leta u polasku te o stavljanju izvan snage Uredbe (EEZ) br. 295/91, treba tumačiti tako da znači da okolnosti, kao što je zatvaranje dijela europskog zračnog prostora radi erupcije vulkana Eyjafjallajökull, predstavljaju „izvanredne okolnosti” u smislu te Uredbe koje ne oslobađaju zračne prijevoznike od njihove obveze pružanja skrbi utvrđene u članku 5. stavku 1. točki (b) i članku 9. navedene uredbe.
2. Articles 5(1)(b) and 9 of Regulation No 261/2004 must be interpreted as meaning that, in the event of cancellation of a flight due to ‘extraordinary circumstances’ of a duration such as that in the main proceedings, the obligation to provide care to air passengers laid down in those provisions must be complied with, and the validity of those provisions is not affected.
2. Članak 5. stavak 1. točka (b) i članak 9. Uredbe br. 261/2004 treba tumačiti tako da znače da se u slučaju otkazivanja leta zbog „izvanrednih okolnosti” u trajanju poput onog u glavnom postupku obveza pružanja skrbi putnicima utvrđena u tim odredbama mora ispuniti, bez utjecaja na valjanost tih odredaba.

Direktive 2004/38/EZ Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 29. travnja 2004. o pravu građana Unije i članova njihovih obitelji slobodno se kretati i boraviti na državnom području država članica, o izmjeni Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1612/68 i stavljanju izvan snage direktiva 64/221/EEZ, 68/360/EEZ, 72/194/EEZ, 73/148/EEZ, 75/34/EEZ, 75/35/EEZ, 90/364/EEZ, 90/365/EEZ i 93/96/EEZ (SL 2004, L 158, str. 77. i ispravci SL 2004, L 229, str. 35. i SL 2005, L 197, str. 34.)

Directive 2004/38
Direktiva 2004/38
3 Recital 6 in the preamble to Directive 2004/38 states:
3 Uvodna izjava 6. Direktive 2004/38 glasi:
‘In order to maintain the unity of the family in a broader sense and without prejudice to the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of nationality, the situation of those persons who are not included in the definition of family members under this Directive, and who therefore do not enjoy an automatic right of entry and residence in the host Member State, should be examined by the host Member State on the basis of its own national legislation, in order to decide whether entry and residence could be granted to such persons, taking into consideration their relationship with the Union citizen or any other circumstances, such as their financial or physical dependence on the Union citizen.’
„Kako bi se sačuvalo jedinstvo obitelji u širem smislu i ne dovodeći u pitanje zabranu diskriminacije na temelju državljanstva, država članica domaćin trebala bi na temelju svog nacionalnog zakonodavstva ispitati položaj osoba koje nisu obuhvaćene definicijom članova obitelji prema ovoj Direktivi i koje zbog toga ne uživaju automatsko pravo na ulazak i boravak u državi članici domaćinu, kako bi odlučila može li odobriti ulazak i boravak tim osobama, uzimajući pritom u obzir njihovu vezu s građaninom Unije i sve ostale okolnosti, kao što su njihova financijska ili fizička ovisnost o građaninu Unije.”
4 Article 2(2) of Directive 2004/38 provides that, for the purposes of the directive, ‘family member’ means:
4 U skladu s člankom 2. stavkom 2. Direktive 2004/38, za potrebe te direktive „član obitelji” znači:
"‘(a) the spouse;"
"„(a) bračni drug;"
"(b) the partner with whom the Union citizen has contracted a registered partnership …;"
"(b) partner s kojim građanin Unije sklopio registrirano partnerstvo […];"
(d) the dependent direct relatives in the ascending line and those of the spouse or partner as defined in point (b)’.
(d) izravni srodnici u uzlaznoj liniji koji su uzdržavanici, kao i oni bračnoga druga ili partnera u smislu točke (b) ovog članka”.
5 Article 3 of Directive 2004/38, headed ‘Beneficiaries’, provides:
5 Člankom 3. Direktive 2004/38, naslovljenim „Nositelji prava”, predviđa se:
‘1. This Directive shall apply to all Union citizens who move to or reside in a Member State other than that of which they are a national, and to their family members as defined in point 2 of Article 2 who accompany or join them.
„1. Ova se Direktiva primjenjuje na sve građane Unije koji se useljavaju ili borave u državi članici različitoj od one čiji su državljani i na članove njihovih obitelji, u smislu članka 2. točke 2. ove Direktive, koji ih prate ili im se pridružuju.
2. Without prejudice to any right to free movement and residence the persons concerned may have in their own right, the host Member State shall, in accordance with its national legislation, facilitate entry and residence for the following persons:
2. Ne dovodeći u pitanje bilo koje osobno pravo na slobodno kretanje i boravak koje dotične osobe imaju, država članica domaćin u skladu sa svojih nacionalnim zakonodavstvom olakšava ulazak i boravak sljedećim osobama:
"(a) any other family members, irrespective of their nationality, not falling under the definition in point 2 of Article 2 who, in the country from which they have come, are dependants or members of the household of the Union citizen having the primary right of residence, or where serious health grounds strictly require the personal care of the family member by the Union citizen;"
"(a) svim ostalim članovima obitelji koji nisu obuhvaćeni definicijom iz članka 2. točke 2. ove Direktive, bez obzira na njihovo državljanstvo, koji su u zemlji iz koje dolaze uzdržavanici ili članovi kućanstva građanina Unije koji je nositelj primarnog prava na boravak, ili kada je zbog ozbiljnih zdravstvenih razloga nužno da građanin Unije osobno njeguje dotičnog člana obitelji;"
(b) the partner with whom the Union citizen has a durable relationship, duly attested.
(b) partneru s kojim je građanin Unije u trajnoj vezi, uz odgovarajuću potvrdu.
The host Member State shall undertake an extensive examination of the personal circumstances and shall justify any denial of entry or residence to these people.’
Država članica domaćin poduzima opsežno ispitivanje osobnih okolnosti i obrazlaže svako odbijanje ulaska ili boravka tim osobama.”
6 Article 10 of Directive 2004/38, headed ‘Issue of residence cards’, states:
6 Člankom 10. Direktive 2004/38, naslovljenim „Izdavanje boravišne iskaznice”, određuje se:
‘1. The right of residence of family members of a Union citizen who are not nationals of a Member State shall be evidenced by the issuing of a document called “Residence card of a family member of a Union citizen” no later than six months from the date on which they submit the application. A certificate of application for the residence card shall be issued immediately.
„1. Pravo na boravak članova obitelji građanina Unije koji nisu državljani države članice evidentira se izdavanjem isprave pod nazivom ‚Boravišna iskaznica za člana obitelji građanina Unije’ najkasnije šest mjeseci od datuma podnošenja zahtjeva. Potvrda o podnošenju zahtjeva za izdavanje boravišne iskaznice.
"(e) in cases falling under Article 3(2)(a), a document issued by the relevant authority in the country of origin or country from which they are arriving certifying that they are dependants or members of the household of the Union citizen, or proof of the existence of serious health grounds which strictly require the personal care of the family member by the Union citizen;"
"(e) u slučajevima iz članka 3. stavka 2. točke (a), isprave koju je izdalo nadležno tijelo u zemlji podrijetla ili zemlji iz koje dolaze, kojom se potvrđuje da su uzdržavanici ili članovi kućanstva građanina Unije ili dokaza o postojanju ozbiljnih zdravstvenih razloga zbog kojih je nužno da građanin Unije osobno njeguje dotičnog člana obitelji;"
7 Directive 2004/38 was transposed in the United Kingdom by the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, as amended by the Immigration (European Economic Area) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 (‘the Immigration Regulations’).
7 Direktiva 2004/38 prenesena je u Ujedinjenu Kraljevinu Uredbom o useljavanju iz 2006. (Europski gospodarski prostor) [Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006], kako je izmijenjena Uredbom o useljavanju iz 2009.

…’

10 Regulation 17 of the Immigration Regulations, headed ‘Issue of residence card’, provides:
10 Člankom 17. Uredbe o useljavanju, naslovljen „Izdavanje boravišne iskaznice”, određuje se:
(4) The Secretary of State may issue a residence card to an extended family member not falling within regulation 7(3) who is not an EEA national on application if –
(4) Secretary of State može na zahtjev izdati boravišnu iskaznicu članu obitelji u širem smislu koji nije obuhvaćen člankom 7. stavkom 3. i nije državljanin EGP-a ako –
"(a) the relevant EEA national in relation to the extended family member is a qualified person or an EEA national with a permanent right of residence under regulation 15; and"

(b) in all the circumstances it appears to the Secretary of State appropriate to issue the residence card.
(b) s obzirom na sve okolnosti Secretary of State smatra primjerenim izdati boravišnu iskaznicu.
(5) Where the Secretary of State receives an application under paragraph (4) he shall undertake an extensive examination of the personal circumstances of the applicant and if he refuses the application shall give reasons justifying the refusal unless this is contrary to the interests of national security.
(5) Ako Secretary of State primi zahtjev na temelju stavka 4., provodi opsežno istraživanje osobnih okolnosti podnositelja zahtjeva te, ako odbije zahtjev, navodi razloge koji opravdavaju odbijanje, osim ako je to suprotno interesima nacionalne sigurnosti.
11 On 31 May 2006 Mahbur Rahman, a Bangladeshi national, married an Irish national working in the United Kingdom.
11 Mahbur Rahman, bangladeški državljanin, 31. svibnja 2006. sklopio je brak s irskom državljankom zaposlenom u Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini.
12 Following that marriage, his brother Muhammad Sazzadur Rahman, his half-brother Fazly Rabby Islam and his nephew Mohibullah Rahman applied for EEA family permits in order to obtain the right to reside in the United Kingdom as his and Mrs Rahman’s dependants. Those applications were refused by the Entry Clearance Officer in Bangladesh on 27 July 2006 as the respondents in the main proceedings had been unable to demonstrate that they were dependent on Mr and Mrs Rahman in Bangladesh.
12 Nakon sklapanja tog braka, njegov brat Muhammad Sazzadur Rahman, njegov polubrat Fazly Rabby Islam i njegov nećak Mohibullah Rahman podnijeli su zahtjev za izdavanje obiteljske dozvole za EGP kako bi stekli pravo na boravak u Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini kao osobe koje uzdržava bračni par Rahman. Entry Clearance Officer u Bangladešu odbio je te zahtjeve 27. srpnja 2006. jer tuženici u glavnom postupku nisu mogli dokazati da su uzdržavanici bračnog para Rahman u Bangladešu.
13 The respondents in the main proceedings then brought an appeal against that refusal before the Immigration Judge of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal. The Immigration Judge allowed their appeal on 19 June 2007. The Immigration Judge found that they were entitled to benefit from the provisions of Article 3(2) of Directive 2004/38 and that, therefore, their entry into the United Kingdom had to be facilitated. Consequently, the respondents in the main proceedings were issued with EEA family permits and they were able to join Mr and Mrs Rahman in the United Kingdom.
13 Tuženici u glavnom postupku podnijeli su Immigration Judge of the Asylum and Immigration Tribunalu žalbu protiv odluke o odbijanju. Navedeni je sud prihvatio žalbu 19. lipnja 2007. Presudio je da su se na njih mogle primijeniti odredbe članka 3. stavka 2. Direktive 2004/38 te da im je stoga morao biti omogućen ulazak u Ujedinjenu Kraljevinu. Slijedom toga, tuženicima u glavnom postupku bile su izdane obiteljske dozvole za EGP i mogli su se pridružiti bračnom paru Rahman u Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini.
14 On 9 January 2008 the respondents in the main proceedings applied for residence cards to confirm their right to reside in the United Kingdom. Those applications were refused by decision of 24 December 2008 of the Secretary of State, as the latter took the view that they had not proved that they had resided with Mrs Rahman, the relevant Union citizen, in the same EEA Member State before she came to the United Kingdom, or that they continued to be dependent on her or were members of her household in the United Kingdom.
14 Tuženici u glavnom postupku podnijeli su 9. siječnja 2008. zahtjev za izdavanje boravišne iskaznice koja bi potvrđivala njihovo pravo na boravak u Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini. Secretary of State im je odlukom od 24. prosinca 2008. odbio te zahtjeve jer je smatrao da nisu dokazali da su s gospođom Rahman, predmetnom državljankom Unije, boravili u istoj državi članici EGP-a prije nego što je ona došla u Ujedinjenu Kraljevinu niti da ih je ona i dalje uzdržavala odnosno da su bili članovi njezina kućanstva u Ujedinjenoj Kraljevini.
