E106 and Government Responsibility

[makfai]

If you are/were an E106 holder are you satisfied that the UK gave you the information it should when it provided you with your E106 and afterwards? Do you feel that the UK had a responsibility to tell you - as a British Citizen - more?  Did the DWP; FCO; and British Embassy exercise their duty of care toward you?

This chap felt aggrieved and took it to the UK Ombudsman and won

Article 34 of EU Directive 2004/38EC required member states to disseminate information concerning the rights and obligations of Union citizens and their family members on the subjects covered by this Directive. Do you feel that you received sufficient and accurate information in a timely fashion from the French AND British Governments?

Article 34

Publicity

Member States shall disseminate information concerning the rights and obligations of Union citizens and their family members on the subjects covered by this Directive, particularly by means of awareness-raising campaigns conducted through national and local media and other means of communication.

If you do feel aggrieved then I suggest that you consider making a formal complaint in the first instance to the British and French Departments you feel let you down and if you receive an unsatisfactory reply then consider writing to the national ombudsman.

You can make these complaints prior to and in addition to submitting any appeals you may be considering.
