Dear Migration and Home Affairs,
Thanks for contacting me to clarify this FoI. I am not referring any "specific" document(s) but disclosing any Guidance/ Policy issued to Schengen Zone member states. For example, DIRECTIVE 2003/109/EC, and in many other Directives, three notions are stated very commonly for refusal reasons. 1. National Security, 2. Public Health and Public Policy.
I am looking for any Guidance/ Policy related documents issued to member states to handle these three notions either to get Temporary or Long Term residence permit.
Hope this will help you.

Yours faithfully,

Mr M. Soha

Migration and Home Affairs
