European Commission 6 June 2007, Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the evaluation of the Dublin system {SEC(2007) 742}

Also known as

The report evaluates the Dublin system, which determines the responsible Member State for processing asylum applications, and the EURODAC Regulation, which facilitates this process through fingerprint registration. Key findings indicate that while the Dublin Regulation is generally effective, issues such as inconsistent application among Member States, low transfer rates of asylum seekers, and challenges in data collection and quality persist. The Commission proposes amendments to improve the system's efficiency, including extending the scope to include subsidiary protection and clarifying provisions related to the sovereignty and humanitarian clauses.AI
