According to Advocate General Szpunar, the acquisition of a right of permanent residence is a prerequisite of an EU citizen being able to qualify for enhanced protection against expulsion. The period of ‘ten years’ for which a citizen must, if he is to be protected against expulsion, have resided in a Member State other than his own may include periods of absence or of imprisonment provided that one of those periods has not had the effect of breaking integrative links with that Member State. |
