COMMON ANALYSIS
Last update: February 2023
In the examination of the application for international protection, the exclusion ground under Article 17(1)(d) QD (danger to the community or the security of the Member State) is only applicable to persons otherwise eligible for subsidiary protection.
Unlike the other exclusion grounds, the application of this provision is based on a forward‑looking assessment of risk. Nevertheless, the examination takes into account the past and/or current activities of the applicant, such as association with certain groups considered to represent a danger to the security of the Member State or criminal activities of the applicant.
For general guidance on Exclusion, see EUAA Practical Guide: Exclusion and EUAA Practical Guide on Exclusion for Serious (Non-Political) Crimes.
