Your brother is an "extended family mamber" under §3 of
directive 2004/38/EC (as opposed to a "family member" under §2).
Germany deliberately avoided full transposition of §3, instead simply making reference to the application of the national immigration rules (Aufenthaltsgesetz, Residence Act) in such situations.
This meets the requirement of not placing EEA nationals in a worse position than that of a third country citizen, but is not necessarily universally sufficient in its own right as the national rules are stricter as regards some cases in which an extended family member should qualify.
The relevant article of the directive reads (bold by me)
Zitat:Article 3
Beneficiaries
1. This Directive shall apply to all Union citizens who move to or reside in a Member State other than that of which they are a national, and to their family members as defined in point 2 of Article 2 who accompany or join them.
2. Without prejudice to any right to free movement and residence the persons concerned may have in their own right, the host Member State shall, in accordance with its national legislation, facilitate entry and residence for the following persons:
(a) any other family members, irrespective of their nationality, not falling under the definition in point 2 of Article 2 who, in the country from which they have come, are dependants or members of the household of the Union citizen having the primary right of residence, or where serious health grounds strictly require the personal care of the family member by the Union citizen;
(b) the partner with whom the Union citizen has a durable relationship, duly attested.
The host Member State shall undertake an extensive examination of the personal circumstances and shall justify any denial of entry or residence to these people.
Examining this closely, the word "facilitate" does not place an obligation upon member states, although regard should be had to the principle of proportionality.
An issue is that your brother is not a "member of the household of the Union citizen having the primary right of residence" by virtue of the fact that your right of residence in your country of nationality derives from the law of that state and not EU law. However this provision can be used to obtain a right of residence under European law for extended family members who have been residing in third countries prior to application even though this crtieria obviously doesn't apply verbatim to them either.

Your brother should have a case, but note "should" not "does". The German authority (Ausländerbehörde) will more likely take the approach explained by Muleta, however it should also consider the principle of proportionality and that if your brother as a current member of your household is refused a residence card then your freedom of movement is limited, which is contrary to the European Commission's intention.
But you may succeed if you're willing to take the issue to court and you should consult a solicitor who has studied European law prior to acting if considering doing so, as you would most likely need to go to court, potentially through several instances.
Muleta schrieb am 09.04.2010 um 16:36:01:Unklar ist zunächst, was Familienangehörige sein sollen.
Es ist klar, siehe Link, Punkt 2.1.3. Geschwister fallen darunter.
Muleta schrieb am 09.04.2010 um 16:36:01:Dies könnte sich auf eine (ggf. sehr weitläufige) Verwandschaft beziehen. Dagegen spricht jedoch, dass die Familienzugehörigkeit ggf. nach nationalem Recht definiert ist (vgl. zum Begriff Verwandtschaft z.B. § 1589f. BGB). Dies spricht m.E. dagegen, dass in Art. 3 Abs. 2 lit. a RL 2004/38/EG eine letztlich europarechtlich undefinierte Personengruppe begünstigt werden sollte.
Das EU-Recht hat ausnahmslos Vorrang.
Muleta schrieb am 09.04.2010 um 16:36:01:Es erscheint mir von daher naheliegend, dass nur die Personen begünstigt werden sollten, die in ihrem Verwandtschaftsverhältnis den Bedingungen aus Art. 2 Nr. 2 RL 2004/38/EG entsprechen und lediglich die besonderen Bedingungen außerhalb des Verwandtschaftsverhältnisses nicht erfüllen (also z.B. gleichgeschlechtliche eingetragene Lebensparter, sofern im Zielstaat keine Gleichstellung vorliegt). Bei dieser Interpretation kämen ohnehin nur Ehegatten, registrierte Lebenspartner und Verwandte in aufsteigender und absteigender Linie in Betracht, nicht hingegen Geschwister.
Dies liegt nur daran, dass Deutschland §3 nicht umgesetzt hat, außer das
AufenthG zu erwähnen. Möglicherweise hätte der Bruder des Themenerstellers ein Aufenthaltsrecht, sofern der Themenersteller selbst in D freizügigkeitsberechtigt wohnhaft ist. Dazu kommt die Verhältnuismäßigkeit und dass die Freizügigkeit des Themenerstellers in der Praxis eingeschränkt wäre, wenn sein Bruder kein Aufenthalsrecht hätte obwohl er schon Mitglied des Haushalts des Unionsbürgers ist.
Ist der Themenersteller bereit, das Gericht anzurufen, so hat er möglicherweise Chancen, er soll dies aber mit einem Anwalt, der das maßgebende EU-Recht studiert hat besprechen, bevor er etwas unternimmt. (Schließlich ist die Richtlinie direkt anwendbar wenn die nationale Umsetzung mangelhaft oder fehlerhaft ist.)
