The persons concerned can no longer prove that they have a right of residence as provided for in Articles L. 121-1, L. 121-3 or L. 121-4-1; 2. Their residence constitutes an abuse of rights. An abuse of rights occurs when periods of residence of less than three months are renewed in order to stay in the country whereas the requirements for a period of residence of more than three months have not been fulfilled. Residence in France with the main aim of profiting from the social assistance system also constitutes an abuse of rights. 3. During the three-month period following admission to France, the personal conduct of the person concerned poses a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to one of the fundamental interests of French society. The relevant administrative authority shall take account of all the circumstances of such persons’ situations, particularly the length of their residence in France, their age, their state of health, their family and financial situation, their social and cultural integration in French society and the strength of their ties with their country of origin. Foreign nationals who are required to leave French territory are given thirty days following notification to do so except in cases of emergency. In exceptional circumstances the administrative authority may grant a period for voluntary departure of more than thirty days. The order to leave French territory shall determine the country to which persons are sent in the event of compulsory enforcement. (…)” “Article L. 521-5-1 (as established by Act No. 2011-672 of 16 June 2011 – Section 63) The expulsion measures provided for in Articles L. 521-1 to L. 521-3 may be taken against nationals of a European Union member state, another State Party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or Switzerland, or a member of their family, if their personal conduct poses a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat affecting one of the fundamental interests of society.
