Right to family reunification in the European Union: A comparison with the Norwegian legal system

Abstract

In this paper, I will make a comparison between the EU legislation and the current Norwegian legislation on the field of family reunification, and point out the differences between those two systems. The directives that are discussed are the family reunification directive, 2003/86/EC and directive 2004/38/EC, compared with the Norwegian Immigration Act (utlendingsloven).
