COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EU / Migration

Withdrawal of refugee status, CJEU finds that EU law precludes Hungarian rules on access to file material

Brussels, 22/09/2022 (Agence Europe)

The Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) issued a judgment (case C-159/21),on Thursday 22 September, in which it held that EU law on the withdrawal of international protection following an infringement of national rules precluded the Hungarian rules. The latter provides that the person concerned by the withdrawal, or his or her representative, can only access the file after the fact, with authorisation and without being informed of the reasons for the decision.
