In a situation of crisis or force majeure, the Member State facing such a situation should have the possibility to request authorisation to apply derogations from relevant rules on the asylum procedure, including the asylum border procedure. Where relevant, such requests should also include the choice of the Member State concerned as regards the exclusion or the cessation of the border procedure for specific categories of applicants. Together with such a request, the Member State concerned should be able to notify the Commission of its intention to apply the derogation from the registration deadline, before it is authorised to do so in a Council implementing decision, as well as the precise reasons for which immediate action is required. The application of that derogation should not exceed ten days from the day following the request unless authorised in the Council implementing decision. The Commission and the Council, when fulfilling their respective responsibilities under the authorisation procedure, should proceed expeditiously in order to limit the time gap between the end of such period and the adoption of the corresponding Council implementing decision.
