103The Commission maintains that, when expelling Community nationals on the basis of the public policy exception governed by Directive 64/221, Member States have an obligation to take into consideration not only the fundamental principle of freedom of movement for persons, but also the impact of such expulsion on fundamental rights, in particular the right to respect for family life established by Article 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, signed at Rome on 4 November 1950 (‘the ECHR’), a right which the Court is required to uphold (see, in particular, Case C-60/00 Carpenter [2002] ECR I-6279, paragraph 41).
