What was decided by the European court of justice (ECJ)?

The European court of justice (ECJ) has, conditions, and deportation and repatriation of refugees in other EU-fleshed out States. Lower social benefits in an EU-member country alone according to the judgment is not a criterion for exclusion.

No, says Bellinda Bartolucci, legal policy officer in the human rights organization Pro ASYL: “The ECJ has established an additional obligation for the competent authorities and courts.” They are now the responsibility of the individual Situation of applicants and recognized persons in need of Protection in the other member state to take into account. Whether this is more or less asylum-seekers to be deported, it will show. The tests could extend the deportation procedure.

Now switch the responsibility for asylum-seekers between EU States more frequently?

“In Greece, Italy, Bulgaria and Hungary, there are several indications that an inhuman treatment could face,” said Pro-asylum-spokesperson for Bartolucci. The written Judgment makes reference to a report of the Swiss refugee aid over Italy, therefore there was “concrete evidence” that recognised refugees are exposed to an increased risk, “to a life on the fringes of society, homeless and impoverish”. The low level of social services in Italy through family solidarity compensated for would not would be open to the immigrants.

Conversely, 8754 proceedings have been transferred to Germany – most of them from France, the Netherlands and Greece. Although Germany provides more than twice as many adoption search, how it receives, has it in 2017, more accepted as submitted.
