A personal interview with the applicant should be organised in order to facilitate the determination of the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection unless the applicant has absconded, has not attended the interview without justified reasons or the information provided by the applicant is sufficient for determining the Member State responsible. In order to ensure that all relevant information is gathered from the applicant to correctly determine the Member State responsible, a Member State which omits the interview should give the applicant the opportunity to present all further information, including duly motivated reasons for the authority to consider the need for a personal interview. As soon as the application for international protection is registered, the applicant should be informed in particular of the application of this Regulation, of the fact that the determination of the Member State responsible for examining his or her application for international protection is based on objective criteria, of his or her rights and obligations under this Regulation and of the consequences of not complying with the obligations.
