Directive 2004/38 was adopted on the basis of Articles 12 EC, 18 EC, 40 EC, 44 EC and 52 EC.
Direktiva 2004/38 je bila sprejeta na podlagi členov 12 ES, 18 ES, 40 ES, 44 ES in 52 ES.
Recitals 1 to 5, 11, 14 and 31 in the preamble to that directive read as follows:
V uvodnih izjavah od prve do pete ter v enajsti, �tirinajsti in enaintrideseti uvodni izjavi te direktive je določeno:
Citizenship of the Union confers on every citizen of the Union a primary and individual right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States, subject to the limitations and conditions laid down in the Treaty and to the measures adopted to give it effect.
„(1) Državljanstvo Unije podeljuje vsakemu državljanu Unije temeljno in individualno pravico do prostega gibanja in prebivanja na ozemlju držav članic ob upo�tevanju omejitev in pogojev, določenih v Pogodbi, in ukrepov, sprejetih za njeno izvajanje.
The free movement of persons constitutes one of the fundamental freedoms of the internal market, which comprises an area without internal frontiers, in which freedom is ensured in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty.
Prosti pretok oseb predstavlja eno od temeljnih svobo�čin notranjega trga, ki zajema področje brez notranjih meja, na katerem je zagotovljena svoboda v skladu z določbami Pogodbe.
Union citizenship should be the fundamental status of nationals of the Member States when they exercise their right of free movement and
Državljanstvo Unije bi moralo predstavljati temeljni status državljanov držav članic, ko uresničujejo svojo pravico do prostega gibanja in prebivanja.
METOCK AND OTHERS residence.
METOCK IN DRUGI
It is therefore necessary to codify and review the existing Community instruments dealing separately with workers, selfemployed persons, as well as students and other inactive persons in order to simplify and strengthen the right of free movement and residence of all Union citizens.
Zato je treba kodificirati in pregledati obstoječe instrumente Skupnosti, ki ločeno obravnavajo delavce, samozaposlene osebe kot tudi �tudente in druge nezaposlene osebe z namenom poenostavitve in krepitve pravice do prostega gibanja in prebivanja vseh državljanov Unije.
With a view to remedying this sector-by-sector, piecemeal approach to the right of free movement and residence and facilitating the exercise of this right, there needs to be a single legislative act …
Da bi presegli tak�en sektorski in posamični pristop k pravici do prostega gibanja in prebivanja ter olaj�ali uresničevanje te pravice, je potreben enotni pravni akt […].
The right of all Union citizens to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States should, if it is to be exercised under objective conditions of freedom and dignity, be also granted to their family members, irrespective of nationality …
Pravica vseh državljanov Unije do prostega gibanja in prebivanja na ozemlju držav članic bi morala biti zagotovljena tudi njihovim družinskim članom, ne glede na državljanstvo, če naj bi se uresničevala v objektivnih pogojih svobode in dostojanstva. […]
The fundamental and personal right of residence in another Member State is conferred directly on Union citizens by the Treaty and is not dependent upon their having fulfilled administrative procedures.
(11) Temeljna in osebna pravica do prebivanja v drugi državi članici je dodeljena državljanom Unije neposredno s Pogodbo in ni odvisna od upo�tevanja upravnih postopkov.
The supporting documents required by the competent authorities for the issuing of a registration certificate or of a residence card should be comprehensively specified in order to avoid divergent administrative practices or interpretations constituting an undue obstacle to the exercise of the right of residence by Union citizens and their family members.
(14) Da bi se preprečilo, da različne upravne prakse ali razlage predstavljajo nepotrebno oviro pri uresničevanju pravice do prebivanja državljanov Unije in njihovih družinskih članov, bi moralo biti točno in izčrpno določeno, kateri so zahtevani dokumenti, na podlagi katerih lahko pristojni organi izdajo potrdilo o prijavi ali dovoljenje za prebivanje.
This Directive respects the fundamental rights and freedoms and observes the principles recognised in particular by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
(31) Ta direktiva spo�tuje temeljne pravice in svobo�čine ter upo�teva načela, ki jih priznava zlasti Listina Evropske unije o temeljnih človekovih pravicah.
In accordance with the prohibition of discrimination contained in the Charter, Member States should implement this Dir -ective without discrimination between the beneficiaries of this Directive on grounds such as sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic characteristics, language, religion or beliefs, political or other opinion, membership of an ethnic minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation’.
V skladu s prepovedjo diskriminacije, ki jo vsebuje ta listina, bi države članice morale izvajati to direktivo brez diskriminacije med upravičenci te direktive na podlagi spola, rase, barve, etničnega ali socialnega porekla, genetskih lastnosti, jezika, vere ali prepričanja, političnega ali drugega mnenja, pripadnosti etnični manj�ini, premoženja, rojstva, invalidnosti, starosti ali spolne usmerjenosti“.
According to Article 1(a) of Directive 2004/38, the directive concerns inter alia ‘the conditions governing the exercise of the right of free movement and residence within the territory of the Member States by Union citizens and their family members’.
V skladu s členom 1(a) Direktiva 2004/38 med drugim določa „pogoje, ki urejajo uresničevanje pravice državljanov Unije in njihovih družinskih članov do prostega gibanja in prebivanja na ozemlju držav članic“.
According to Article 2(2)(a) of Directive 2004/38, for the purposes of the directive, ‘family member’ means inter alia the spouse.
V skladu s členom 2(2)(a) Direktive 2004/38 se za namene te direktive za „družinskega člana“ med drugim �teje zakonca.

Family members who are not nationals of a Member State shall only be required to have an entry visa in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 539/2001 or, where appropriate, with national law.
Družinski člani, ki niso državljani države članice, morajo imeti samo vstopni vizum v skladu z Uredbo (ES) �t. 539/2001 ali, če ustreza, z nacionalno zakonodajo.
For the purposes of this Directive, possession of the valid residence card referred to in Article 10 shall exempt such family members from the visa requirement.
Za namene te direktive so družinski člani, ki imajo veljavn[o] dovoljenj[e] za prebivanje, navedeno v členu 10, izvzeti iz zahteve po vizumu.
The Member State may require the person concerned to report his/her presence within its territory within a reasonable and non-discriminatory period of time.
Država članica lahko zahteva od zadevne osebe, da javi svojo prisotnost na njenem ozemlju v razumnem in nediskriminatornem časovnem obdobju.
Failure to comply with this requirement may make the person concerned liable to proportionate and non-discriminatory sanctions.’
Neizpolnitev te zahteve se lahko kaznuje s sorazmernimi in nediskriminatornimi sankcijami.“
