54The need to carry out such an assessment is consistent with the general scheme of the regime established by Directive 2004/83. In that regard, it follows from Article 4(3)(a) of Directive 2004/83 and Article 5(1) of that directive that, in order to decide on an application for international protection, account must be taken of all relevant facts as they relate to the country of origin ‘at the time of taking a decision on the application’ and, where appropriate, of events which have taken place since the applicant left the country of origin.
