Section 2: Delimitation of the waiting area

The premises of the waiting areas are not the responsibility of the prison administration. They are physically distinct and separate from the holding facilities mentioned in Book VII.

The waiting area extends from the points of embarkation and disembarkation to those where checks on persons are carried out.

The waiting area extends, without the need for a specific decision, to places to which the foreign national must go either as part of the procedure under way or in the event of medical necessity.
