Summary of UNHCR's Provisional Observations on the Proposal for a Council Directive on Minimum Standards on Procedures in Member States for Granting and Withdrawing Refugee Status

This is a four-page summary of key concerns. Please note that the comments are still 'provisional', and will remain so until after the Directive is formally adopted, at which time UNHCR would issue final comments on the agreed text and recitals. In the meantime, the comments and summary will be public documents.
