The Commission considers that these criteria laid down by EU law are strict enough and thus ensure that only those people who have actually moved their centre of interest to a Member State are considered habitually resident there and no longer resident in the Member State where they previously lived.
Komisjon on arvamusel, et asjaomased ELi õiguses sätestatud kriteeriumid on piisavalt ranged ning nendega tagatakse, et üksnes neid isikuid, kes on toonud oma huvide tegeliku keskme üle teatavasse liikmesriiki, peetakse selle riigi alaliseks residendiks ning nad ei ole enam selle liikmesriigi residendid, kus nad varem elasid.
