(Case C-454/19) (<span class="oj-super oj-note-tag">1</span>)
(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Citizenship of the Union - Article 21 TFEU - Right to move and reside freely in the territory of the Member States - Criminal offence specifically concerning international child abduction - Restriction - Justification - Child protection - Proportionality)
(2021/C 28/09)
Language of the case: German
Intervener: Staatsanwaltschaft Heilbronn
Article 21 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding the application of a Member State’s legislation under which the retention by a parent of a child from his appointed carer in another Member State attracts criminal penalties even in the absence of force, threat of serious harm or deception, whereas where such retention takes place in the territory of the first Member State, the same act is punishable only if recourse is had to force, threat of serious harm or deception.
