96That Article 7, read in conjunction with Article 3(1) thereof, therefore confers on any third-country national or stateless person the right to make an application for international protection, including at the borders of a Member State or in its transit zones. In that regard, while it is true that, as Hungary observes, Article 6(3) of that directive allows Member States to require that applications for international protection be lodged at a designated place, it must be noted that no provision of that directive establishes a similar rule regarding the making of applications for international protection.
