On a case-by-case basis, Romania also used existing legislative provisions to extend time limits, when justified. The measure was confirmed by the Council of State on 16 December 2020, which held that the pandemic led to a force majeure in asylum procedures, making it impossible to conduct personal interviews and leading to the extension of time limits, an aspect on which applicants must be notified in a timely manner. In line with the guidelines from the European Commission from 16 April 2020, the Netherlands prolonged the time limit by 6 months to render a decision on an application which was lodged before and not yet exceeded the original time limit of 6 months. The Danish Immigration Service extended the time limit for recording biometric data by 2 months since at the height of the pandemic it was not possible to take fingerprints and facial photos when a person submitted an application. Over 2020, time limits were extended in several EU+ countries due to the disruption of services.
