47From that point of view, Article 6 of that directive requires Member States to ensure that the persons concerned may be able to exercise effectively the right to make an application for international protection, including at their borders, as soon as they express their wish to do so. A Member State cannot, without undermining the effectiveness of Article 6 of that directive, therefore, unjustifiably delay the time at which the person concerned is given the opportunity to make his or her application for international protection (judgment of 17 December 2020, Commission v Hungary (Reception of applicants for international protection), C‑808/18, EU:C:2020:1029, paragraphs 103 and 106).
