Judgment_paragraph 29 · Z. Zh. v Staatssecretaris van Veiligheid en Justitie and Staatssecretaris van Veiligheid en Justitie v I. O (C-554/13)

29That court observes that Directive 2008/115 does not contain any definition of the concept of ‘risk to public policy’ in Article 7(4) of that directive and adds that the history of that concept provides no clues as to its scope. It points out that, since that provision also does not contain any express reference to the law of the Member States, that concept should, according to the settled case-law of the Court (see, inter alia, judgments in Ekro, 327/82, EU:C:1984:11, paragraph 11, and Brouwer, C‑355/11, EU:C:2012:353, paragraph 36), be given an independent and uniform interpretation, considering its usual meaning in everyday language, and taking into account the context in which it occurs and the purposes of the rules of which it forms part.
