Where an applicant makes a subsequent application without presenting new elements which significantly increase his or her likelihood of qualifying as a beneficiary of international protection or which relate to the reasons for which the previous application was rejected as inadmissible, that subsequent application should not be subject to a new full examination procedure. In those cases, following a preliminary examination, applications should be rejected as inadmissible in accordance with the res judicata principle. The preliminary examination should be carried out on the basis of written submissions or a personal interview. The personal interview may, in particular, be dispensed with in those instances where, from the written submissions, it is clear that the application does not give rise to new elements. In the case of subsequent applications, exceptions may be made to the individual’s right to remain on the territory of a Member State.
