The EU Treaty provisions recognising the rights of entry of certain citizens of Czechoslovakia, Poland and Bulgaria had direct effect. Three applicants had entered the UK misrepresenting their intentions to stay as temporary. Rights of entry and residence as corollaries of the right of establishment, were conferred on such nationals wishing to pursue activities of an industrial or commercial character, activities of craftsmen or activities of the professions in a member state. The rights are not absolute, and applicants could be required to make proper applications.
