For all practical purposes the tests for deportation of an EU national after completion of a sentence of imprisonment are the same in Nazari and Bouchereau: ‘Thus under EEC Law a valid recommendation for deportation can only be made if at least two conditions are fulfilled: first, that there exists a genuine and sufficiently serious threat to the requirements of public policy affecting one of the fundamental interests of society – in our judgment, that is simply a somewhat fuller way of saying that the appellant’s continued presence in the United Kingdom would be to its detriment – and secondly, that the reasons are given to the appellant for making the recommendation. Mr Turner who appeared before the Court as amicus curiae submitted that EEC law here simply mirrors the law and practice of this country. With that submission we agree.’
