The person in question was granted permission to enter and remain in the State on 15 May 2001 on the basis of being a family member of a recognised refugee. The person concerned was issued with a travel document pursuant to Section 18 (6) of the Refugee Act identifying the person as a family member of a refugee. It is a matter for the French authorities to decide on what is appropriate to satisfy their criteria for entering their State. However, if the person in question contacts my department with details of his difficulties, this matter can be further investigated.
