EU Law Exam - Need help ASAP!

LawStudent456

This is a possible question on my EU law Exam.

Elizabeth is a Dutch national working in Italy since october 2007.
Her son, Koen, is enrolled in the University of Florence, where he is studying history of art. Koen decides to apply for a ‘scholarship of excellence’ offered by the School of Arts to students according to their grades, but is rejected because he is not of Italian nationality.

Elisabeth’s partner, Louise, joins them in December 2007, after quitting her job in The Hague and selling all her property. She decides to register with the immigration office immediately, but is rejected because she cannot provide a certificate of employment. She is told that if she does not find a job in three months time, she has to go back to the Netherlands. Louise is trained as a nurse but all her applications to several hospitals in Livorno and Florence failed, because she cannot speak Italian.

While coming back home one evening after a party, Elisabeth and Louise are stopped by the police who finds marijuana in their car. They are prosecuted for consumption of illegal substances, facing three months imprisonment and expulsion from the Italian territory.

Advise Koen, Louise and Elisabeth.

It is advising Louise that I have difficulyt with. As it does not say what nationality she, if they have formed a civil partnership by law,etc!

Any help greatly appreiciated.

Thanks.
