AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The decree changes the time limits for appealing decisions by the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons before the National Court of Asylum. The standard appeal deadline remains one month from notification, but some appeals will now have to be filed within 10 days. The shorter 10-day deadline applies to appeals against inadmissibility decisions and rejections issued under the accelerated procedure set out in EU Regulation 2024/1348. The deadlines only apply if the decision notice clearly states the appeal deadline and the available appeal routes. The changes apply to asylum applications filed from 12 June 2026.
