Abstract
This chapter brings together the findings on Member States’ political preferences as collected at the beginning of the analysis (Chap. 5) with those on the long-term implications deriving from the Court’s precedent-based reasoning as examined in the further analyses (Chaps. 6 and 7). On that basis, this chapter presents the study’s overall analytical findings on whether and how precedent-based patterns strengthen the Court’s autonomy.

More precisely, in Alopka (paragraph 32), the ‘substance of the rights’ doctrine was presented in the following lengthy formulation: “Concerning (…) Article 20 TFEU, the Court has held that there are very specific situations in which, despite the fact that the secondary law on the right of residence of third -country nationals does not apply and the Union citizen concerned has not made use of his freedom of movement, a right of residence cannot, exceptionally, without undermining the effectiveness of the Union citizenship that citizen enjoys, be refused to a third -country national who is a family member of his if, as a consequence of refusal, that citizen would be obliged in practice to leave the territory of the European Union altogether, thus denying him the genuine enjoyment of the substance of the rights conferred by virtue of the status of citizen of the European Union”.
