Can EU citizens bring their non-EU national spouse to the EU?

Only if they satisfy the requirements of the law of the country in question specifically about income. Most of the EU countries require a permanent job and a certain level of income for approving residence permits of a non-EU national spouse. See the case of McCarthy. Shirley McCarthy was a British Irish national who wanted to live in the UK with her Jamaican husband. Their applications were refused. They tried to rely on EU law to overturn the decision and bypass the income requirements for sponsoring spouse visa. It was held that Mrs McCarthy could not rely on Union law because she never left the UK so her Union rights were not activated. Union law only applies when an EU citizen goes to another EU country so there is a cross-border element.
