Origin & history

The case arose in the Netherlands, where the asylum application of Mr. Zimir, a Turkish national, was not decided within the standard six-month period prescribed by Article 31(3) of the Asylum Procedures Directive. The Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND) extended the period by nine months, citing a large number of pending cases. Zimir contested the extension, claiming it was incompatible with EU law.
