Questions referred
1. |
Must Article 9(1)(c) of Directive 2003/109/EC (1) be interpreted as meaning that any physical stay, no matter how short, of a third-country national who is a long-term resident in the territory of the Community during a period of 12 consecutive months precludes loss of the status of long-term resident third-country national under this provision? |
2. |
If the Court answers Question 1 in the negative: What qualitative and/or quantitative requirements must stays in the territory of the Community for a period of 12 consecutive months satisfy in order to preclude loss of the status of long-term resident third-country national? Do stays during a period of 12 consecutive months in the territory of the Community preclude loss of the status of long-term resident third-country national only if the third-country nationals concerned had their habitual residence or centre of interests in the territory of the Community during that period? |
3. |
Are rules of the legal systems of the Member States, which provide for loss of the status of long-term resident third-country national where such third-country nationals resided in the territory of the Community for a period of 12 consecutive months, but had neither their habitual residence nor centre of interests there, compatible with Article 9(1)(c) of Directive 2003/109/EC? |
(1) Council Directive 2003/109/EC of 25 November 2003 concerning the status of third-country nationals who are long-term residents (OJ 2004 L 16, p. 44).
