CJEU - C-179/11 Cimade, Groupe d’information et de soutien des immigres (GISTI) v Ministre de l’Interieur, de L’Outre-mer, des Collectivities territorials et de l’Immigration
Country of applicant:
Unknown
This case concerned the legality of a circular in French law which was challenged by two organisations on the basis that it was contrary to EU Law under the Reception Conditions Directive in so far as it excludes asylum seekers from entitlement to allowances if they are in the Dublin procedure in France. The CJEU held that the Reception Conditions Directive applies in such a scenario and therefore asylum seekers in the Dublin procedure should have access to the minimum reception conditions laid down in that Directive. This obligation ceases when the person is actually transferred to another Member State.
