In accordance with article L. 223-1, the provisions of this Title apply to foreign nationals whose situation is governed by Book II.
Placement in the waiting area is pronounced for a period that may not exceed four days by a written and reasoned decision of an officer in a category set by regulation.This decision is entered in a register mentioning the civil status of the person concerned and the date and time on which the decision to place him/her was notified. It is immediately brought to the attention of the public prosecutor.
The foreign national placed in the waiting area shall be informed of his rights under the conditions provided for in article L. 343-1.
The detailed rules for the application of this section shall be laid down by decree in the Conseil d’Etat.
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.
Staying in the waiting area beyond four days from the initial placement decision may be authorised, by the liberties and detention judge ruling on the effective exercise of the rights recognised to the foreign national, for a period of not more than eight days.
The request to remain in the waiting area sets out the reasons why the foreign national could not be repatriated or, if they have applied for asylum, admitted, and the time required to ensure their departure from the waiting area.
