(5)This Directive should not affect the applicable Union rules governing mobility across the Union of third country nationals legally residing in a Member State, and who are entitled to move or travel to other Member States in accordance with Union law, but should rather facilitates the exercise of their right to move or travel when they already have such a right to mobility.
(6)In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 and Article 4 of Protocol No 21 on the position of the United Kingdom and Ireland in respect of the area of freedom, security and justice, annexed to the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and to the Treaty on Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and without prejudice to Article 4 of that Protocol, Ireland is not taking part in the adoption of this Directive and is not bound by it or subject to its application.
