Subject: The Court affirmed that measures to enforce a decision to expel a Union citizen and family members on grounds of public policy or public security constitute restrictions on the right to movement and residence, which may be justified if they are based exclusively on the personal conduct of the individual concerned and comply with the principle of proportionality. In view of the systems of cooperation available tothe Member States, the maximum detention period of eight months provided for by Belgian law does, however, go beyond what is necessary to establish an effective removal policy
