COMBIS – International: The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the Commission’s intention to abolish the Dublin rules governing asylum cases within the European Union. According to the transfer of SVT.
“We will abolish the Dublin rules and replace them with a new European immigration management system,” Von der Leyen said in a speech to the European Parliament today.
The Dublin Rules regulate asylum cases between countries of the European Union and basically stipulate that an asylum application must be processed in the first country a refugee arrives. This led countries to return many refugees to the countries where they were first identified, which is known among refugees as the “Dublin fingerprint”.
Swedish Commissioner Elva Johansson is expected to present new plans to regulate asylum and immigration within a week.
Von der Leyen said the new system will have joint asylum and resettlement structures, and a strong solidarity mechanism, which she did not disclose.
“I really want to discuss that. Of course, there will be things that we agree on and others that we do not meet. So I look forward to the next few days and weeks.”
According to SVT EU correspondent Christopher Wendick, what has been talked about is the first indication of what will be released in the asylum package to be presented by the EU Commission.
The proposal is expected to receive acceptance from some countries and opposition from others.
“This is something that Italy and Greece support as they believe that it is unreasonable for them to be responsible for everyone who enters the union through them,” Fendick said, noting that there are countries that still refuse to receive asylum seekers. , but the expected proposal may contain a way to show solidarity between countries.
Such a solidarity mechanism aims to find a way to distribute asylum seekers between European countries, but the method is not yet clear.
The “Dublin Regulation” for refugees was established within the framework of the “Dublin Convention” which was approved on June 15, 1990 in the Irish capital, Dublin, and entered into force on September 1, 1997.
