Note(s)

1. The Directive 2013/32/EU/ (Recast Asylum Procedures Directive) recognises in Art.9 an automatic right of applicants to remain in the Member State, for the sole purpose of the procedure, until the determining authority has made a decision in accordance with the procedures at first instance, and in Art.46(3) – in line with international refugee law and with the jurisprudence of the European Courts – an automatic right of applicants appealing against negative decisions to remain in the territory of the concerned EU Member State.
2. In some circumstances (listed in Art.46(6) of Directive 2013/32/EU), such as decisions considering an application to be manifestly unfounded in accordance with Art.32(2) or unfounded after examination in accordance with Art. 31(8), the suspensive effect of appeal is not automatic. However, the possibility remains to request a court or tribunal for a right to stay, pending the second instance decision (Art.46 (3) of Directive 2013/32/EU).
