Before ruling on an appeal that raises a new question of law, presents a serious difficulty and arises in numerous cases, the National Court of Asylum may, by a decision that is not subject to appeal, refer the case file to the Council of State, which shall examine the question raised within a period of three months. Any decision on the merits of the case shall be deferred until the opinion of the Council of State has been received or, failing that, until the expiry of this period.
The conditions for the application of this article shall be specified by decree in the Council of State.

Avant de statuer sur un recours soulevant une question de droit nouvelle, présentant une difficulté sérieuse et se posant dans de nombreux litiges, la Cour nationale du droit d’asile peut, par une décision qui n’est susceptible d’aucun recours, transmettre le dossier de l’affaire au Conseil d’Etat qui examine la question soulevée dans un délai de trois mois. Il est sursis à toute décision au fond jusqu’à l’avis du Conseil d’Etat ou, à défaut, jusqu’à l’expiration de ce délai.
Les conditions d’application du présent article sont précisées par décret en Conseil d’Etat.
