For the application of 2° of Article L. 531-32, the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons shall refer the matter to the competent Prefect, providing all the information required for verification, in order to ensure that the applicant is in fact eligible for readmission to the country where he or she enjoys refugee status.
This referral suspends the time limit laid down in Article R. 531-30.
