Applicable EU law under Regulation (EU) 2024/1347 of 14 May 2024, on standards for the qualification of third-country nationals or stateless persons as beneficiaries of international protection, for a uniform status for refugees or for persons eligible for subsidiary protection, and for the content of the protection granted (the Qualification Regulation) incorporates the exclusion criteria from Article 1E of the 1951 Refugee Convention. Thus, under  EU relevant law, the persons already protected by the competent authorities of the country where their residence is established may be excluded from the refugee status and the subsidiary protection, if they have been granted the rights and obligations attached to -or equivalent to those attached to- the possession of the nationality of that country. The relevant law does not include provisions that may result in differences of treatment among refugees (Qualification regulation (EU) 2024/1347, Article 12(1b)).
