46As the Advocate General observed, in point 63 of her Opinion, it is clear in a situation in which a third-country national who holds a residence permit issued by a Member State is staying illegally in another Member State that he must be allowed to travel to the Member State which issued his residence permit in order to exercise his right to reside there instead of being obliged to return to his country of origin, unless, in particular, public order or national security so requires.
