Projet de loi ratifiant l’ordonnance n° 2020-1733 du 16 décembre 2020 portant partie législative du code de l’entrée et du séjour des étrangers et du droit d’asile

This French government bill asks Parliament to ratify Ordinance No. 2020-1733 of 16 December 2020, which set out the legislative part of the Code on the Entry and Residence of Foreigners and the Right of Asylum (CESEDA). Ratification gives the ordinance the force of statute. The ordinance was issued under powers Parliament granted the government, which lets it reorganise existing law into a single code without debating each change in full. This summary is based on the procedure metadata only, not the full bill text. The bill mainly affects the legal framework for foreign nationals seeking entry, residence or asylum in France, along with the authorities that apply these rules, such as the prefectures and the courts. Because it concerns codification, its direct practical effects are expected to be limited, but the precise content should be checked in the bill and the ordinance itself.
