S.L. 420.7 Art. 14Decision by the International Protection Agency.

(1) The decision on the eligibility for refugee status or subsidiary protection status shall be made in writing following the determination of the application.

(2) The decision referred to in sub-regulation (1) shall indicate the reasons in fact and in law and in case of a negative decision, it shall also include information clarifying the reasons for such decision as well as an explanation on how such a negative decision can be challenged:

Provided that an applicant who has been recognised as being in need of international protection shall, as soon as possible after the respective refugee status or subsidiary protection status has been granted to him, have access to information on the rights and obligations relating to that status in a language which he understands or may reasonable be supposed to understand:

Provided further that if an applicant has been provided with such information at an earlier stage, the International Protection Agency need not include such information with the decision.

(3) When an application has been lodged on behalf of dependants and whenever such an application is based on the same grounds, the International Protection Agency may take a single decision, covering all dependants, unless to do so would lead to the disclosure of particular circumstances of an applicant which could jeopardise his interests, in particular in cases involving gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and, or age based persecution. In such cases, a separate decision shall be issued to the person concerned.
