Judgment_paragraph 54 · Alekszij Torubarov v Bevándorlási és Menekültügyi Hivatal (C-556/17)

54However, Article 46(3) of that directive only concerns the examination of the appeal brought and does not therefore govern what happens after any annulment of the decision under appeal. Thus, by adopting Directive 2013/32, the EU legislature did not intend to introduce any common rule to the effect that the quasi-judicial or administrative body referred to in Article 2(f) of that directive should be deprived of its powers following the annulment of its initial decision concerning an application for international protection, so that it remains open to the Member States to provide that the file must, following such an annulment, be referred back to that body for a new decision (see, to that effect, judgment of 25 July 2018, Alheto, C‑585/16, EU:C:2018:584, paragraphs 145 and 146).
