Propose a la cour par le A.G. : L’article 11, paragraphe 2, de la directive 2003/86/CE du Conseil, du 22 septembre 2003, relative au droit au regroupement familial, doit être interprété en ce sens qu’il ne s’oppose pas à une législation nationale en vertu de laquelle le bénéficiaire d’une protection internationale est tenu, aux fins de l’examen de sa demande de regroupement familial, d’expliquer d’une manière plausible les raisons pour lesquelles il se trouve dans l’incapacité de fournir des pièces justificatives officielles attestant de l’existence d’un lien familial, pour autant que l’autorité nationale compétente apprécie ces explications au regard non seulement des informations pertinentes, tant générales que particulières, concernant la situation dans le pays d’origine de ce dernier, mais également de la situation particulière dans laquelle celui-ci se trouve.

Pues bien, considerando todas las circunstancias anteriores, concluimos que la menor solicitante de protección internacional, se encuentra en situación de necesidad de dicha protección, en la forma de protección del artículo 3 de la Ley 12/2009 , pues nos consta que, dada la situación que actualmente vive Honduras y su situación personal, el menor se encuentra en peligro de riesgo grave para su vida e integridad física proveniente de la persecución a que la Mara Salvatrucha somete a su familia. Esta persecución se produce particularmente sobre la persona del menor solicitante de asilo, por actos de desobediencia realizados por miembros de su familia, además del peligro genérico que implica encontrarse en el ámbito geográfico de actuación de una mara.
