The cornerstones are the Charter of Fundamental Rights encompasses the principle of the respect of family life and the fundamental European standards for family reunification of third-state nationals are based in the Council Directive on the Right to Family Reunification.

The article analyses the way the jurisdiction of the CJEU widens the notion of family reuni-fication and how it offers more realistic picture for the growing importance of family reunification.
