Question juridique clé
Whether the refusal to renew the residence permit was compatible with ANAG and Article 8 ECHR despite the appellant's marriage to a Swiss citizen.
Solution extraite
The refusal was lawful and proportionate in light of the serious drug offense, the public interest in exclusion, and the insufficient weight of the private/family interests.
Motifs extraits
The court accepted that a removal ground existed and held that the balancing of interests under Art. 11(3) ANAG and Art. 16(3) ANAV, which parallels Art. 8(2) ECHR, favored the public interest. The gravity, duration, and profit-driven nature of the drug trafficking outweighed integration, family ties, and post-offense good conduct.
