(Reuters) Denmark was wrong not to allow a Turkish woman to be reunited with her husband and children in the country, the EU’s top court ruled on Wednesday.
The case, which could set a precedent for similar cases, poses a considerable challenge for Denmark’s new Social Democratic government, which campaigned to curb the flow of migrants.
Danish legislation has so far made it possible to deny family reunification to immigrants if authorities find their connection to another country stronger than to Denmark.
However, that legislation was ruled to violate an agreement between the EU and Turkey, saying that member states can not limit Turkish nationals’ access to work and family when staying in an EU country.
