The Council proposal rejected the Commission and EP proposal in some areas. To be specific:
it reduced from six to three months the period in which a citizen of one Member State can reside in another Member State without any conditions applying, thus upholding the current situation;
it extends the required duration of marriages or registered partnerships to a minimum of three years in order for individuals not to lose their residency permit in the event of separation or divorce, with a few exceptions;
the definition of ‘family’ gives no consideration to unmarried couples, only to registered partnerships if the provisions of the host State treat unmarried couples in the same way as married couples. The issue of unmarried couples is left to the discretion of the host Member State and, consequently, the descendents and direct ascendants of citizens who do not hold citizenship of a European Union country are excluded from the directive;
a new criterion is introduced for repatriation, relating to the excessive burden on the social security system of the host country.
Hence the four proposals that we presented in an attempt to solve these problems. I am sorry to say that they were all rejected."@en1
