|
1. |
The second subparagraph of Article 6(1) of Directive 2013/32 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on common procedures for granting and withdrawing international protection must be interpreted as meaning that examining magistrates called upon to adjudicate on the detention of a third-country national without a legal right of residence with a view to that person’s refoulement are among the ‘other authorities’ referred to in that provision, which are likely to receive applications for international protection but are not competent, under national law, to register such applications; |
|
2. |
The second and third subparagraphs of Article 6(1) of Directive 2013/32 must be interpreted as meaning that examining magistrates, as ‘other authorities’ within the meaning of that provision, must, first, inform third-country nationals without a legal right of residence of the procedure for lodging an application for international protection and, second, where a third-country national has expressed his or her wish to make such an application, send the file to the competent authority for the purposes of registering that application, in order that that third-country national may benefit from the material reception conditions and health care provided for in Article 17 of Directive 2013/33/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 laying down standards for the reception of applicants for international protection; |
|
3. |
Article 26 of Directive 2013/32 and Article 8 of Directive 2013/33 must be interpreted as meaning that a third-country national without a legal right of residence who has expressed his or her wish to apply for international protection before ‘other authorities’, within the meaning of the second subparagraph of Directive 2013/32, cannot be detained on grounds other than those laid down in Article 8(3) of Directive 2013/33. |
