Judgment_paragraph 39 · Préfet des Pyrénées-Orientales v Abdelaziz Arib and Others (C-444/17)

39A third-country national in that situation falls, under Article 2(1) of Directive 2008/115, and without prejudice to Article 2(2) of the directive, within the scope of the directive. He must therefore, in principle, be subject to the common standards and procedures laid down by the directive for the purpose of his removal, as long as his stay has not, as the case may be, been regularised (see, to that effect, judgment of 7 June 2016, Affum, C‑47/15, EU:C:2016:408, paragraph 61).
