Gordon Brown on Yahoo
Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2010 5:00 pm
I took the chance Yahoo will be cross examining Gordon Brown I took a chance to place a question asking him when the government will scrap the need for EEA FPs for family member who are already in possession of a residence card issued in the EEA.
Maybe someone else might like to take a go at him:

I would like to know what steps you will take so that the The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 are brought into line with Article 5 of Directive 2004/38/EC. The issue is, Community law states that non-European Union family members of EU citizens are not required to apply for an entry visa into the UK if they hold a residence card issued by any EU State (article 10 of Directive 2004/38/EC). The UK flouts Community law by requiring this family member to apply for entry clearance in the form of an European Economic Area Family Permit. I have made a complaint to the European Commission and presented a Petition to the European Parliament and both agree that the UK is in the wrong, not that this seems to make any difference.
