EU law
Question 1:
Vindolanda – a fictional EU Member State – wishes to discourage immigration from other EU Member States. To achieve this goal, the Prime Minister of Vindolanda proposes the adoption of the following four measures:
(1) The introduction of a new requirement for jobseekers from other EU Member States to prove they can speak Vindolandian – a form of ancient Latin spoken only in Vindolanda – before they enter the country;
(2) The introduction of a new rule whereby any EU citizen who is yet to find a job within six months of entering and residing in Vindolanda must leave the country immediately;
(3) The introduction of an absolute three-year ban on claiming any state benefits, such as tax credits, for EU citizens working in Vindolanda either as employees or self- employed persons;
(4) The imposition of a new requirement which would prevent EU citizens working in Vindolanda (or planning to work there) from bringing their non-EU spouse or partner with them unless they can prove they have been residing together in the EU citizens’ countries of origin for a period of at least one year.
The Prime Minister of Vindolanda has hired you to advise him on the compatibility of the above-mentioned proposals with EU Law as it stands on 31 December 2020.
Ensure that you support your answer by citing relevant provisions of EU primary and secondary law as well as relevant EU cases.
