let me put to you this scenario
1)you have asked for return but in your house there is a tc who already moved twice or even three times in their lifetime living in it since 1974. are you going to insist that they move out and you move in. 2) you must be joking the eu court has already ruled who can insists on a return and unless you have lived in the property till the age of 14, it is not classified as a home and hence your right to return is dependent on the resident. i grant you the rule is wrong in not considering the current resident and how long they have lived there. 3) surely we can change that to look at both and who ever has lived in the property longer after the age of 14 has the choice. you want eu rules you can have eu rules.
1)So what?? Moving from one house to another (when you don't have your own) is common practice. We are not in the 19th century when people were born, raised , got married, had children, and died in the same house, in the same village, in the same few square meters. I personally lived in at least 20 different houses in 3 different districts of Cyprus plus some abroad, before settling to my own.
You and the one who uses my house or the house that I inherited, does not OWN it. The only right he has is to stay there paying rent. No, I will not insist that he gets out of it, but in case I need it (possibly to setup a business or agricultural job around) I will talk to him and try to work things out. Tenants do have rights only when they pay...
2)We didn't need the EU to tell us what is a home and what is a house. However you have to get it out of your mind that living in someone else's property means the property itself belongs to you. Surely it's your home -your nest but this assumes that the owner or the hairs of the owner have given you permission to live in there. Let's forget about the permission due to force majeure reasons. If you still want to reside there you have to pay a fee. In fact I would like the solution to include a clear formula what the rents will be so that we won't have the people arguing with each other. That might as well be the major job of a property committee:Collecting rents or throwing out those who refuse to pay or move.
3) I will personally not force anyone out nor do I want to see it happening to ANYONE be it TC or GC. Even if he doesn't have the money to pay me any fee -imagine an old person whose only income is pension will sign him a paper that he can live there until he dies so that no property committee could harm him. Perhaps there should be a clear procedure in a solution how things should be worked out offering people enough time to adjust or work things our between themselves.
Like I said I don't think getting back properties and go live in them is any top priority either for the majority of TCs or GCs. It is the right of ownership that is top priority. I rather foresee a lot more cases of people who would develop their properties, build shops, hotels, restaurants etc than actually returning to live in their old towns/villages.
