Revocation of regulation 44 and Schedule 5

46

The following are revoked—

  • (a) regulation 44;
  • (b) Schedule 5.

SCHEDULE 1 — CONSIDERATIONS OF PUBLIC POLICY, PUBLIC SECURITY AND THE FUNDAMENTAL INTERESTS OF SOCIETY ETC.

Considerations of public policy and public security

1

The EU Treaties do not impose a uniform scale of public policy or public security values: member States enjoy considerable discretion, acting within the parameters set by the EU Treaties, applied where relevant by the EEA agreement, to define their own standards of public policy and public security, for purposes tailored to their individual contexts, from time to time.

Application of paragraph 1 to the United Kingdom

2

An EEA national or the family member of an EEA national having extensive familial and societal links with persons of the same nationality or language does not amount to integration in the United Kingdom; a significant degree of wider cultural and societal integration must be present before a person may be regarded as integrated in the United Kingdom.

3

Where an EEA national or the family member of an EEA national has received a custodial sentence, or is a persistent offender, the longer the sentence, or the more numerous the convictions, the greater the likelihood that the individual’s continued presence in the United Kingdom represents a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting of the fundamental interests of society.

4

Little weight is to be attached to the integration of an EEA national or the family member of an EEA national within the United Kingdom if the alleged integrating links were formed at or around the same time as—

  • (a) the commission of a criminal offence;
  • (b) an act otherwise affecting the fundamental interests of society;
  • (c) the EEA national or family member of an EEA national was in custody.

5

The removal from the United Kingdom of an EEA national or the family member of an EEA national who is able to provide substantive evidence of not demonstrating a threat (for example, through demonstrating that the EEA national or the family member of an EEA national has successfully reformed or rehabilitated) is less likely to be proportionate.

6

It is consistent with public policy and public security requirements in the United Kingdom that EEA decisions may be taken in order to refuse, terminate or withdraw any right otherwise conferred by these Regulations in the case of abuse of rights or fraud, including—

  • (a) entering, attempting to enter or assisting another person to enter or to attempt to enter, a marriage, civil partnership or durable partnership of convenience; or
  • (b) fraudulently obtaining or attempting to obtain, or assisting another to obtain or to attempt to obtain, a right to reside under these Regulations.

The fundamental interests of society

7

For the purposes of these Regulations, the fundamental interests of society in the United Kingdom include—

  • (a) preventing unlawful immigration and abuse of the immigration laws, and maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the immigration control system (including under these Regulations) and of the Common Travel Area;
  • (b) maintaining public order;
  • (c) preventing social harm;
  • (d) preventing the evasion of taxes and duties;
  • (e) protecting public services;
  • (f) excluding or removing an EEA national or family member of an EEA national with a conviction (including where the conduct of that person is likely to cause, or has in fact caused, public offence) and maintaining public confidence in the ability of the relevant authorities to take such action;
  • (g) tackling offences likely to cause harm to society where an immediate or direct victim may be difficult to identify but where there is wider societal harm (such as offences related to the misuse of drugs or crime with a cross-border dimension as mentioned in Article 83(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union);
  • (h) combating the effects of persistent offending (particularly in relation to offences, which if taken in isolation, may otherwise be unlikely to meet the requirements of regulation 27);
  • (i) protecting the rights and freedoms of others, particularly from exploitation and trafficking;
  • (j) protecting the public;
  • (k) acting in the best interests of a child (including where doing so entails refusing a child admission to the United Kingdom, or otherwise taking an EEA decision against a child);
  • (l) countering terrorism and extremism and protecting shared values.

SCHEDULE 2 — APPEALS TO THE FIRST-TIER TRIBUNAL

1

The following provisions of, or made under, the 2002 Act have effect in relation to an appeal under these Regulations to the First-tier Tribunal as if it were an appeal against a decision of the Secretary of State under section 82(1) of the 2002 Act (right of appeal to the Tribunal)—

  • section 84 (grounds of appeal)[^f00031], as though the sole permitted grounds of appeal were that the decision breaches the appellant’s rights under the EU Treaties in respect of entry to or residence in the United Kingdom (“an EU ground of appeal”);
  • section 85 (matters to be considered)[^f00032], as though—the references to a statement under section 120 of the 2002 Act[^f00033] include, but are not limited to, a statement under that section as applied by paragraph 2; anda “matter” in subsection (2) and a “new matter” in subsection (6) include a ground of appeal of a kind listed in section 84 of the 2002 Act and an EU ground of appeal;
  • section 86 (determination of appeal)[^f00034];
  • section 105[^f00035] and any regulations made under that section; and
  • section 106[^f00036] and any rules made pursuant to that section.

1A

Section 86B of the 2002 Act (timeframe for determination of appeal brought by certain non-detained appellants liable to deportation) applies in relation to an appeal under these Regulations to the First-tier Tribunal as it applies in relation to an appeal under section 82(1) of the 2002 Act but as if for subsection (4) there were substituted—

(4) But subsection (3) does not apply or, as the case may be, ceases to apply, if the appeal is brought, or is continued, from outside the United Kingdom.

2

  • (1) Section 92(3) of the 2002 Act[^f00037] has effect as though an additional basis upon which an appeal under section 82(1)(b) of that Act (human rights claim appeal) must be brought from outside the United Kingdom were that—
  • (a) the claim to which that appeal relates arises from an EEA decision or the consequences of an EEA decision; and
  • (b) the removal of that person from the United Kingdom has been certified under regulation 33 (human rights considerations and interim orders to suspend removal).
  • (2) Section 120 of the 2002 Act applies to a person (“P”) if an EEA decision has been taken or may be taken in respect of P and, accordingly, the Secretary of State or an immigration officer may by notice require a statement from P under subsection (2) of that section, and that notice has effect for the purpose of section 96(2) of the 2002 Act[^f00038].
  • (3) Where section 120 of the 2002 Act so applies, it has effect as though—
  • (a) subsection (3) also provides that a statement under subsection (2) need not repeat reasons or grounds relating to the EEA decision under challenge previously advanced by P;
  • (b) subsection (5) also applies where P does not have a right to reside.
  • (4) For the purposes of an appeal brought under section 82(1) of the 2002 Act, subsections (2) and (6)(a) of section 85 (matters to be considered) have effect as though section 84 included a ground of appeal that the decision appealed against breaches the appellant’s right under the EU Treaties in respect of entry into or residence in the United Kingdom.

3

Tribunal Procedure Rules made under section 22 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007[^f00039] have effect in relation to appeals under these Regulations.

SCHEDULE 3 — EFFECT ON OTHER LEGISLATION

Leave under the 1971 Act

1

Where a person has leave to enter or remain under the 1971 Act which is subject to conditions and that person also has a right to reside under these Regulations, those conditions do not have effect for as long as the person has that right to reside.

Person not subject to restriction on the period for which they may remain

2

  • (1) For the purposes of the 1971 Act and British Nationality Act 1981, a person who has a right of permanent residence under regulation 15 must be regarded as a person who is in the United Kingdom without being subject under the immigration laws to any restriction on the period for which the person may remain.
  • (2) But a qualified person, the family member of a qualified person, a person with a derivative right to reside and a family member who has retained the right of residence must not, by virtue of that status, be so regarded for those purposes.

Carriers’ liability under the 1999 Act

3

For the purposes of satisfying a requirement to produce a visa under section 40(1)(b) of the 1999 Act (charges in respect of passenger without proper documents)[^f00040], “a visa of the required kind” includes an EEA family permit, a residence card, a derivative residence card, a qualifying EEA State residence card, or a permanent residence card required for admission under regulation 11(2), or permission to be temporarily admitted under regulation 41.
