43In the third place, it must be recalled that Directive 2008/115 is not intended to harmonise in their entirety the national rules of the Member States on the stay of foreign nationals (judgment of 6 December 2011, Achughbabian, C‑329/11, EU:C:2011:807, paragraph 28). The common standards and procedures established by that directive concern only the issuing of return decisions and the implementation of those decisions (see, to that effect, judgment of 6 December 2011, Achughbabian, C‑329/11, EU:C:2011:807, paragraph 29, and of 8 May 2018, K. A. and Others (Family reunification in Belgium), C‑82/16, EU:C:2018:308, paragraph 44).
