During the entire procedure for examining the application, the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons may define the special examination procedures it deems necessary for the exercise of an applicant’s rights due to his particular situation or vulnerability.
For the application of the first paragraph, the Office shall take into account the information on the applicant’s vulnerability sent to it by the French Office for Immigration and Integration pursuant to Article L. 522-4 and the elements of vulnerability of which it alone may be aware from the application or statements made by the person concerned.
The French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons may give priority to applications that are manifestly well-founded as well as applications submitted by vulnerable persons identified as having special reception needs pursuant to Chapter II of Title II, or as requiring special examination procedures.
When the Office considers that the asylum seeker’s situation, due in particular to the serious violence of which he has been a victim or to his minority, justifies special procedural guarantees which are not compatible with the examination of his application under the accelerated procedure pursuant to Articles L. 531-24, L. 531-26 or L. 531-27, it shall decide not to make a decision under this procedure.
