Abstract

The judgment under analysis deals for the first time with the effects of an expulsion orderadopted pursuant to Article 15 of Directive 2004/38. This provision regulates the expulsion of a Union citi-zen who, without posing a risk to public policy, public security, or public health, no longer has aright of residence that justified his presence in the host Member State. In FS, the court focuses on determining what circumstances must be present for an expulsion decision than has been issued against an EU citizen under Article 15 to be considered enforced; and when, therefore, such a citi-zen may return to the host Member State to take up a new legal residence. Thispaper also address-es two issues that the ECJ sidesteps in its judgment: the detention of an EU citizen for the purposes of expulsion; and the very legality of expulsion in the FScase. This last questionis particularly problematic, since the Court's silence seems to endorse an interpretation that, in the wake of Dano, would harden the conditions of residence of economically inactive citizens.
