The applicant is heard by the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons in accordance with the procedures laid down by articles R. 531-11 to R. 531-16 and R. 531-28.
However, if necessary and notwithstanding article R. 531-15, the personal interview may not be recorded. In this case, the transcript will be commented on. If the applicant refuses to confirm that the content of the transcript correctly reflects the personal interview, the reasons for his refusal are recorded in his file. Such a refusal does not prevent the Office from ruling on the asylum application.
