Such refusal violates the right to move and reside freely within the territory of the Member States. Unlike earlier judgments, the Trojan ruling marks a significant step towards full recognition of legal status across the EU. Hence, the duty of recognition no longer only refers to the formation of a civil status itself, but now also appears to extend to its legal effects.
