Questions referred







1.


Are Directive 2011/95/EU (2) and Directive 2013/32/EU (3) applicable to applications for a grant of protection status following the granting of temporary protection under Directive 2001/55? (4)











2.








(a)


Must Articles 17(1) and 19(2) of Directive 2001/55/EC be interpreted as meaning that the possibility of making an ‘application for asylum’ refers to the possibility of making an application for refugee status and of making an application for subsidiary protection status and of having such an application examined in the light of Directive 2011/95 and Directive 2013/32?










(b)


Is Article 3(1) of Directive 2001/55 to be interpreted as meaning that temporary protection under that directive precludes the recognition of subsidiary protection status under Directive 2011/95 for persons eligible for or enjoying temporary protection under the first directive?














3.


If Articles 17(1) and 19(2) of Directive 2001/55 also cover the right to apply for subsidiary protection status under the Directive 2011/95, are those articles, in conjunction with Article 10(2) of Directive 2013/32, sufficiently clear and precise to have direct effect?










4.


Is national legislation, such as the Swedish rules in Paragraph 5 of Chapter 21 of the utlänningslagen (2005:716) (Law on foreign nationals (2005:716)), which restricts the right to apply for a grant of refugee status or of alternative protection status so that it makes provision solely for applications for a grant of refugee status, compatible with EU law?
