49That exhaustiveness is based on both the wording of the latter provision – in particular, on the word ‘only’ preceding the list of grounds of inadmissibility – and the purpose thereof, which consists, as the Court has previously held, in relaxing the obligation of the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection by defining the cases in which such an application is considered to be inadmissible (judgment of 19 March 2020, Bevándorlási és Menekültügyi Hivatal (Tompa), C‑564/18, EU:C:2020:218, paragraph 30 and the case-law cited). In addition, in the light of that purpose, Article 33(2) of the Procedures Directive, taken as a whole, constitutes a derogation from the obligation on Member States to examine the substance of all applications for international protection.
