Migrationsverket v Kastrati and Others (Case C-620/10); [2012] WLR (D) 139
“The withdrawal of an asylum application which occurred before the requested member state had agreed to take charge of the asylum seeker, had the effect that Council Regulation (EC) No 343/2003 which established the criteria and mechanisms for determining the member state responsible for examining an asylum application would no longer be applicable. In such circumstances, it was for the member state within the territory of which the application was lodged to take the decisions required as a result of that withdrawal and to discontinue the examination of the application, with a record of the information relating to it being placed in the applicant’s file.”
