Re:
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Kammarrätten i Stockholm — Migrationsöverdomstolen — Interpretation of the second subparagraph of Article 4(5), Article 5(2) and Article 16(3) and (4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 of 18 February 2003 establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national (OJ 2003 L 50, p. 1) — Conditions for application of the regulation in the case of the withdrawal of an asylum application — Withdrawal of asylum applications made by third-country nationals in a Member State A during the procedure for the determination of the Member State responsible for examining the application under that regulation and following agreement by a Member State B to take charge of the applicants — Decision by the competent authority in Member State A to reject the applications for asylum and to set in train the procedure for the transfer of the applicants to Member State B, regardless of the fact that the asylum applications made in Member State A have been withdrawn
Operative part of the judgment
Council Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 of 18 February 2003 establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an asylum application lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national must be interpreted as meaning that the withdrawal of an application for asylum within the terms of Article 2(c) of that regulation, which occurs before the Member State responsible for examining that application has agreed to take charge of the applicant, has the effect that that regulation can no longer be applicable. In such a case, it is for the Member State within the territory of which the application was lodged to take the decisions required as a result of that withdrawal and, in particular, to discontinue the examination of the application, with a record of the information relating to it being placed in the applicant’s file.
