He was born in Denmark. He has no partner or children. By a final Supreme Court judgment of 18 Marts 2025, the applicant was convicted of drug offences. He was sentenced to 1 year and 9   months’ imprisonment and his expulsion from Denmark was ordered with a 6 ‑ year re ‑ entry ban. The applicant complained that the order expelling him from Denmark was in violation of Article 8 of the Convention. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1. Having regard, in particular, to the fact that the applicant was sentenced to 1 year and 9 months’ imprisonment, and that the re-entry ban was reduced by virtue of section 32(5) of the Aliens Act, would the order to expel him from the country with a 6-year re-entry ban be in breach of Article 8 of the Convention (see, for example, Sharafane v. Denmark , no. 5199/23, 12   November   2024 and Al-Habeeb v. Denmark , no. 14171/23,12 November   2024)? 2. Under Danish legislation, notably section 16(7) of Executive Order no. 1545 of 12 December 2024, ( Udlændinges adgang til Danmark på grundlag af visum ), which requirements must the applicant fulfil in order to re-enter Denmark, when the six ‑ year re-entry ban will expire?   3. Can the Government provide any examples of circumstances where persons belonging to group 5, as set out in annex 2 to the said Executive Order, should be granted a visa under the new section 16(7) after having been expelled for a limited period of time?   4. Have any visas been issued under the new section 16(7)?   5. Have any instructions on the application of the new section 16 (7) been issued to the relevant Aliens Authorities, including Danish Embassies?
