Case C-355/16 Picart: The narrow interpretation of the Swiss-EU Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons as a lesson for Brexit?

Benedikt Pirker bespreekt op het European law blog de zaak van een meneer die een beroep wil doen op het vrij verkeer van personen

"The AFMP contains a number of relevant provisions in this regard. Put succinctly, the Agreement contains extensive provisions on the free movement of workers, a limited version of the freedom to provide services and a particular version of the freedom of establishment limited to natural persons (to name only the parts relevant for our present purposes). The case is of particular interest because to date the Court has only interpreted the AFMP’s provisions on the freedom of establishment with regard to their exclusion of legal persons. It has not yet clarified whether the freedom of establishment contains a mere prohibition of discrimination on the grounds of nationality or a more far-reaching prohibition of restrictions."

(....) 

"The Court noted initially that it had already found that individuals could invoke free movement rights under the AFMP as a matter of principle against their own country (para 17). Without going into detail on the scope of freedom of establishment under the AFMP and reserving its judgment on whether shareholding-management activities constitute a self-employed activity for the purposes of the AFMP (para 21), the Court turned to the scope ratione personae of the freedom of establishment. Based on a literal reading of Articles 12 and 13 Annex I of the AFMP, it held that the right of establishment was restricted to two scenarios. The first one concerns nationals of one contracting party wanting to become established in the territory of another contracting party to pursue their activity there (para 22). Under the second scenario, the right would be invoked by self-employed frontier workers (para 25). Mr Picart fell under none of these scenarios, as he did not intend to pursue a self-employed activity in Switzerland and remained in Switzerland as his country of residence to pursue his self-employed activity from there.

Lastly, the Court held that the interpretation of the EU freedom of establishment could not be transferred to the AFMP presently because Switzerland had not joined the internal market, so that no automatic analogous interpretation of the AFMP could take place unless there were express provisions to that effect, which was not the case (para 29)."

The 14th Conference of the International Association for Studies in Forced Migration (IASFM) /Call for papers

International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM)

IASFM14: Contested Spaces and Cartographic Challenges

The 14^th Conference of the International Association for Studies in Forced Migration (IASFM) will be hosted by the Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group, Kolkata, India January 6 - 9, 2013. This is the first time that the conference is being hosted in South Asia. 

The nature and character of migration, particularly ‘forced' migration, today is different from that in previous decades. But while this is not a new observation, it has not been acknowledged in such a manner, because of what underlined the refugee regime and what regulated the management and protection of refugees. This has been underscored by migratory patterns in much of the colonial world (read, Africa and Asia, for instance) as against the European context. The UN however, acknowledged this by noting in its 10 Point Plan of Action that migration is characterised by "mixed movements". Even then, the underlying institutions that aimed at securing the rights of refugees in the last few decades did not change. Refugees continued to be those that fled "political persecution" leaving a large number of people who fled due to other factors outside the legal definition and thus protection regime. Second, internal displacement gained prominence as a category of rights bearing subjects but the role of UN institutions was curtailed or expanded depending on the state that produced the internally displaced. Thus, even though forced by circumstances, government policies or government inaction/impunity, internally displaced persons were not accorded the same kind of protection that refugees were. Thus it is not uncommon for internally displaced persons to call themselves refugees even while they are within the physical borders of the state.
IASFM 14 proposes to highlight the unique features of the new reality by focusing on the relevant experiences of strategies of protection of victims of forced migration, particularly in the post-colonial world.
