(40) ‘Many applications for international protection are made at the external border or in a transit zone of a Member State, often by persons apprehended in connection with unauthorisedirregular crossings of the external border or disembarked following a search and rescue operation.

(40a) ‘ The purpose of the border procedure for asylum and return should be to quickly assess applications, at the external borders whether applications are unfounded or inadmissible and to, to determine whether they are well founded or unfounded. If unfounded, the procedure should allow for a swiftly return of those with no right to stay and who have been issued a return decision, while ensuring that those with well-founded claims are channelled into the regular procedure and provided quick access to international protection. Member States should therefore be able to require applicants for international protection to stay at the external border or in a transit zone in order to assess the admissibility of applications. In well-defined circumstances, Member States should be able to provide for the examination of the merits of an application and, in the event of rejection of the application, for tha decision on the possible return of the third-country nationals and stateless persons concerned at the externconcerned in a border procedure.

(40e) The duration of the border procedure for examination of applications for international protection should be as short as possible while at the same time guaranteeing a complete and fair examination of the claims. It should in any event not exceed 12 weeks.

Within this period, and without prejudice to the independence of the judiciary, Member States are entitled to set the deadline in national law both for the administrative and for the appeal stage, but should set them in a way so as to ensure thatable the examination procedure isto be concluded and that subsequently, if relevant, thea decision on the first level of appeal isto be issued within this maximum 12 weeks. After that period, if the Member State nevertheless failed to take the relevant decisions, the applicant should in principle be authorised to enter the territory of the Member State. Entry into the territory should however not be authorised where the applicant has no right to remain, where he or she has not requested to be allowed to remain for the purpose of an appeal procedure, or where a court or tribunal has decided that he or she should not be allowed to remain pending the outcome of an appeal procedure. In such cases, to ensure continuity between the asylum procedure and the return procedure, the return procedure should also be carried out in the context of a border procedure for a period not exceeding 12 weeks. This period should be counted starting from the moment in which the applicant, third- country national or stateless person no longer has a right to remain or is no longer allowed to remainWhere a final decision is not taken within 12 weeks, the border procedure shall end and the applicant shall be allowed to enter the territory of the Member State.
