The application for readmission must be submitted to the competent authority of the Requested State within a maximum of one year after the Requesting State's competent authority has gained knowledge that a third-country national or a stateless person does not, or does no longer, fulfil the conditions in force for entry, presence or residence. Where there are legal or factual obstacles to the application being submitted in time, the time limit shall, upon request by the Requesting State, be extended but only until the obstacles have ceased to exist.\n2. A readmission application must be replied to in writing:\nwithin two working days, if the application has been made under the accelerated procedure (Article 6(3)),\nwithin 14 calendar days in all other cases.\nThese time limits begin to run with the date of receipt of the readmission request. If there was no reply within these time limits, the transfer shall be deemed to have been agreed to.\n3. Reasons shall be given for the refusal of a readmission request.\n4. After agreement has been given or, where appropriate, after expiry of the time limits laid down in paragraph 2, the person concerned shall be transferred without delay and at the latest within three months. On request of the Requesting State, this time limit shall be extended by the time taken to deal with legal or practical obstacles.",
