Parties to the main proceedings
Applicants: Maria Do Céu Bragança Linares Verruga, Jacinto Manuel Sousa Verruga, André Angelo Linares Verruga
Defendant: Ministre de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche
Operative part of the judgment
Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2011 on freedom of movement for workers within the Union must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State, such as that at issue in the main proceedings, which, with the aim of encouraging an increase in the proportion of residents with a higher education degree, makes the grant of financial aid for higher education studies to a non-resident student conditional on at least one of that student’s parents having worked in that Member State for a minimum and continuous period of five years at the time the application for financial aid is made, but which does not lay down such a condition in respect of a student residing in the territory of that Member State.
