We should keep what is currently in place—in other words, that a decision has to be made, either positive or negative. If that is not possible, a brief paragraph could be added to say that if there has been no decision—positive or negative—after three years, the decision is assumed to be negative. That would mean that, three years after applying, an individual would be entitled to this recourse. In all cases, a form of recourse must be preserved, since it represents an important legal guarantee.
