If it is not possible to ascertain which country is responsible on the basis of the various criteria, responsibility lies with the country in which the asylum application was made (first asylum country).
Lässt sich anhand der verschiedenen Kriterien der zuständige Staat nicht bestimmen, so ist dasjenige Land zuständig, in dem der Asylsuchende sein Gesuch gestellt hat (Erstasylland).
S'il est impossible de définir le pays compétent grâce à ces différents critères, c'est le pays où la demande a été déposée qui est responsable (pays de premier asile).
Se non è possibile stabilire quale Paese sia competente in funzione di questi criteri, allora diventa responsabile dell’esame della richiesta il Paese nel quale essa è stata presentata per la prima volta (Paese di primo asilo) e spetta a quest’ultimo esaminare la domanda di asilo e seguire la persona interessata.
