Date: 
Wednesday, September 27, 2017

On 27 September 2017, the Dutch Council of State referred a question for a preliminary ruling to the CJEU regarding the possibility to lodge an appeal against an incorrect application of the responsibility criteria under the Dublin III Regulation in the Member State where an asylum applicant submits his second asylum application. The question is:

  1. Must Regulation (EU) No 604/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person be interpreted as meaning that only the Member State where an asylum seeker submits his first application is responsible for applying the responsibility criteria and, as a consequence, is the only Member State where a third country national can challenge an incorrect application of that criteria under Article 27 of that Regulation?
