AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order sets the operating rules for temporary accommodation sites used for people applying for asylum at the French border. The sites are part of France’s national reception system, managed through OFII and operated by a contracted legal entity. It defines who can be hosted, how people are referred, and what the operator must manage day to day. Operators must handle capacity, arrivals, transport from border points such as Roissy Charles de Gaulle, and basic social and administrative support, while ensuring that vulnerable people are hosted only when the site can meet their needs.
