33It is true that Directive 2004/114 allows Member States to exercise a measure of discretion when considering applications for admission. However, it should be noted that, as the Advocate General observed in point 49 of his Opinion, the discretion available to the national authorities relates only to the conditions laid down in Articles 6 and 7 of that directive and, within that context, to the assessment of the relevant facts in order to determine whether those conditions are met and, in particular, whether there are grounds relating to the existence of a threat to public policy, public security or public health which preclude the admission of the third-country national.
