(i) Article 24 of the Qualification Directive does not confer a substantive right of residence in the Member State concerned. Rather, its function is to determine the modalities whereby a right of residence otherwise existing is to be documented.
(ii) The Procedures Directive is a truly adjectival instrument of EU legislation. It does not create any substantive rights in the realm of asylum or subsidiary protection.
