When a Member State is facing a situation of crisis or force majeure, it might need to divert resources to manage arrivals of third-country nationals and stateless persons at its borders. As a result, that Member State might need time to reorganise its resources and increase its capacity, including with the support of the relevant Union agencies. That Member State might also need more time to be able to decide on applications without allowing entry into its territory. In such a situation, it should be possible for that Member State to derogate from the deadlines for registration and border procedure.
