Applicant: Staatssecretaris van Justitie en Veiligheid
Defendant: X
Operative part of the judgment
Point (b) of the third subparagraph of Article 31(3) of Directive 2013/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on common procedures for granting and withdrawing international protection
must be interpreted as meaning that the six-month time limit laid down for the examination of applications for international protection, referred to in that provision, may be extended by a period of nine months by the determining authority in the event of a significant increase in the number of those applications, within a short period, compared to the normal and foreseeable trend in the Member State concerned, which excludes a situation characterised by a gradual increase in the number of those applications over an extended period.
Point (b) of the third subparagraph of Article 31(3) of Directive 2013/32, read in conjunction with Article 4(1) thereof,
must be interpreted as meaning that the difficulty, in practice, of concluding the procedure for the examination of applications for international protection within the six-month time limit cannot result from circumstances other than a large number of applications lodged simultaneously, such as a significant backlog of applications or insufficient personnel at the determining authority.
