An application for reconsideration is an asylum application submitted after a final decision has been taken on a previous application.
The fact that the applicant has explicitly withdrawn his previous application, or that the final decision has been taken pursuant to articles L. 531-37 or L. 531-38, or that the applicant has left the territory, even to return to their country of origin, does not prevent the application of the provisions of the first paragraph.
These provisions apply without prejudice to Regulation (EU) No 604/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013.
