Judgment_paragraph 29 · Evelyn Danqua v Minister for Justice and Equality and Others (C-429/15)

29It follows that, in the absence of EU rules concerning the procedural requirements attaching to the submission and examination of an application for subsidiary protection applicable in Ireland, it is for the domestic legal system of that Member State to determine those requirements, provided, first, that the requirements are not less favourable than those governing similar domestic situations (principle of equivalence) and, second, that they do not render impossible in practice or excessively difficult the exercise of rights conferred by the EU legal order (principle of effectiveness) (see, to that effect, judgment of 8 May 2014, N., C‑604/12, EU:C:2014:302, paragraph 41 and the case-law cited).
