For the purpose of this question, assume the law is as it stood on 31 December 2020.

Question 1: Miranda - a fictional EU Member State - wishes to discourage immigration from the other EU Member States. To achieve this goal, the Prime Minister of Miranda proposes the adoption of the following four measures:

(1) The introduction of a new requirement for jobseekers from the other EU Member States to prove they can speak Mirandian - a form of ancient Latin spoken only in Miranda - before they enter the country;

(2) The introduction of a new rule whereby any EU citizen who is yet to find a job within six months of entering and residing in Miranda must leave the country immediately;

(3) The introduction of an absolute three-year ban on claiming any state benefits, such as tax credits, for EU citizens working in Miranda either as employees or self-employed persons;

(4) The imposition of a new requirement which would prevent EU citizens working in Miranda (or planning to work there) from bringing their non-EU spouse or partner with them unless they can prove they have been residing together in the EU citizens' countries of origin for a period of at least one year.

The Prime Minister of Miranda has hired you to advise him on the compatibility of the above-mentioned proposals with EU Law as it stands on 31 December 2020. Please ensure that you support your answer by citing relevant provisions of EU primary and secondary law as well as relevant EU cases.
