Operative part of the judgment

Article 46 of Directive 2013/32/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on common procedures for granting and withdrawing international protection, read in the light of Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,
must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State which, in the event of failure by an applicant for international protection to comply with a procedural obligation to appear in person before the court or tribunal having jurisdiction to rule on his or her appeal against a decision rejecting his or her application, the sole objective of which is to verify the applicant’s presence on the national territory and not to be heard, establishes a presumption that the appeal has been improperly brought and provides for it to be dismissed as manifestly unfounded.
