EU: The CJEU ruled that Article 10(3)(a) of the Family Reunification Directive must be interpreted as meaning that the application for family reunification by parents whose child arrived in a Member State as an unaccompanied minor but reached the age of majority while their international protection application was still being processed must be submitted within a reasonable time from the moment when the minor was granted refugee status. In addition, the reasonableness of this time must be determined by taking into account the particular circumstances of the case.

EU: The CJEU clarified that Member States are precluded from an automatic suspension of the examination of asylum applications lodged by beneficiaries of temporary protection during the period of validity of the temporary protection status. It also held that, in exceptional circumstances, the decision-making period can be exceeded due to an objective impossibility to strictly comply with the time limits, to avoid saturating the asylum system.

EU: The CJEU clarified that Article 17(1) of the Dublin III Regulation must be interpreted as meaning that any Member State may decide to examine an application for international protection submitted to it, including when the Member State responsible for examining that application has been designated pursuant to Article 3(2) first subparagraph of that Regulation.

FR: The Administrative Court of Nantes ruled that applicants who did not respect their obligations set out by the authorities, could have their material conditions of reception withdrawn only partially on 23 July 2026, in line with the provisions of the 2024 Reception Conditions Directive, to which the administration is required to give direct effect pending the formal transposition of the directive in France.

FR: The Administrative Court of Dijon ruled that for an applicant who was not present for a transfer from France to Belgium in August 2026, the recast Reception Conditions Directive was still applicable because the application for asylum and the transfer decision to the responsible Member State predated 12 June 2026, the date of entering into application of the Pact instruments. Therefore, the court held that the applicant's material conditions of reception could be withdrawn only partially for not respecting the obligations set out by the authorities, in application of the recast Reception Conditions Directive.

DE: The Higher Administrative Court of Hesse overturned the lower court’s judgment granting subsidiary protection to an Afghan national on the basis of an internal armed conflict and found that young, healthy, employable male Afghan nationals who have a family network in Afghanistan are not subject to a prohibition of removal on account of the humanitarian conditions there.

The applicant, an Afghan national from the Herat province, requested international protection in Germany, which was rejected by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). The BAMF found that there were no grounds prohibiting his removal.
