By derogation to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Member States may decide that the refugee status lapses by law in case of cessation in accordance with Article 11(1), sub-paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of Council Directive 2004/83/EC or if the refugee has unequivocally renounced his/her recognition as a refugee.
Neierobežojot 1., 2. un 3. punktu, dalībvalsts var pieņemt lēmumu, ka bēgļa statuss tiek juridiski atcelts saskaņā ar 11. panta 1. punkta a), b), c) un d) apakšpunktu Padomes Direktīvā 2004/83/EK vai ja bēglis ir nepārprotami atteicies no viņa/viņas bēgļa statusa.
