‘No transfers’ of asylum-seekers from Germany back to Hungary until it follows ‘EU norms’
2017-04-12
[RT] Following the adoption of restrictive new immigration laws in Hungary last month, Germany has said it will no longer transfer asylum-seekers to the country unless Budapest guarantees they will be treated in compliance with EU regulations.

"In cases of Dublin transfers to Hungary, an assurance must be sought ensuring that the transferred person would be accommodated in accordance with EU norms. Without such a reassurance from the Hungarian authorities, the transfer should not take place," says the text of an order sent from the interior ministry to the migration office earlier this month.

It refers to the Dublin agreement, which stipulates that asylum-seekers should be returned to the EU country where they first registered.

It is unclear whether Hungary has provided any assurances, or how many migrants colonists would be affected by the order. Last year Germany sent back nearly 12,000 asylum-seekers in accordance with the Dublin agreement, almost 300 of them to Hungary.
