Article 16(1) of Parliament and Council Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of citizens of the Union and their family members to move and reside freely within the territory of the member states meant that a European Union citizen who was a national of a member state which had recently acceded to the European Union could, pursuant to that provision, rely on a right of permanent residence where he or she had resided in the host member state for a continuous period of more than five years, part of which had been completed before the accession of the former state to the European Union, provided that the residence was in accordance with the conditions laid down in article 7(1) of Directive 2004/38.”
