Question referred

Is EU law to be interpreted as precluding a national rule under which a residence permit for the purpose of care and custody may be granted only to the foreign parent of an unmarried minor child resident in national territory if the child has his or her habitual residence in national territory, which means that Union citizens of a Member State do not have such entitlement to the grant of a residence permit for the purpose of care and custody of a Union citizen who is a minor and a national of a Member State other than the host country?
