moreThis Insight briefly discusses the Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in joined cases Alo and Osso: two preliminary rulings submitted by the German Federal Administrative Court in the context of two cases concerning the obligation to reside in a particular place imposed on two beneficiaries of subsidiary protection. In this judgment, the Court addressed mainly three issues. First, whether the concept of free movement enshrined in Art. 33 of Directive 2011/95 includes the right to freely choose the place of residence. Second, whether limits on the freedom of movement would be justified for reasons relating to the territorial distribution of social charges. Finally, whether limits on the freedom of movement could be justified on grounds of immigration and integration policies. KEYWORDS: freedom of movement – freedom to choose residence – equal treatment – subsidary protection – refugees – integration.
