Britain cannot impose a blanket visa requirement on family members originally from outside Europe but who have valid EU residence rights, European court of justice has ruled.

The decision is another setback in the government’s campaign to control immigration from the European Union.

Concluding that the EU’s freedom of movement rules trumped British claims that visas were needed to combat abuse of the EU residence card system, the judges in Luxembourg said the Colombian wife of Sean McCarthy, a dual British and Irish national living in Spain, did not need a UK visa or family permit to visit Britain

The UK is disappointed with the judgment in this case,” said a government spokesman. “As the case is still to return to the UK’s high court for a final judgment, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

Eric Mc said:

The individual who instigated the case is a Brit, by the way (living in Spain with a Colombian wife).

And that matters why? If he was living in the UK he would be unable to bring his wife over without going through the proper process. So another EU back-door opens.

Its the ideological 'pillar' of Eu freedom of movement being sacrosanct that is the issue.
