Europe tightens refugee rules
Today, Sunday, the procedures for implementing the new European Common Asylum System began, aimed at strengthening oversight of the Union's external borders and expediting the processing of asylum applications. The new rules include fast border procedures that do not exceed 12 weeks for asylum seekers whose chances of acceptance are low, with the possibility of their temporary stay in reception centers near the borders. The system also seeks to reduce "secondary migration" among European countries and includes mechanisms for solidarity between member states to ease the burden of refugee reception, with Germany ceasing contributions to the solidarity fund for the current year.
