Questions referred

1.

Does Directive 2008/115/EC, (2) in particular Articles 6, 8 and 9 thereof, preclude the issue of a return decision against a foreign national who, due to the enforcement of a long-term or lifelong prison sentence, cannot fulfil his or her return obligation for a long period of time and, as a result, cannot be removed from the territory of the European Union?

2.

If the answer to the first question is yes, is the Member State then obliged to grant a foreign national an independent residence permit or some other form of permission to stay during the stay in long-term or lifelong detention, whether or not under Article 6(4) of Directive 2008/115/EC?

3.

Is there scope under Article 6(1) of Directive 2008/115/EC for a proportionality assessment in the individual case, beyond the exceptions referred to in paragraphs 2 to 5 and the principles and interests listed in Article 5 of that directive?
