Report from the Commission on the evaluation of the Dublin system

This own-initiative report evaluates the Dublin system. The amendments criticise widely varying asylum recognition rates and treatment, detention of persons under the system, disproportionate burdens on border Member States, the lack of a fair burden-sharing mechanism, the need for a European asylum system and support office, transfers to States not guaranteeing fair treatment, the restrictive definition of "family member", and information for asylum seekers.
