Immigrated in autumn 2015
With regard to Germany, it is necessary to keep in mind, however, that the large
numbers of asylum seekers who immigrated in autumn 2015 should not be
subsumed under secondary migration.
Given the critical situation in Hungary
and other Central Eastern European member states at the time, Germany
opened its borders for asylum seekers voluntarily. 4 As can be derived from a
European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling of July 2017, the German government
could cite the sovereignty (or discretionary or humanitarian) clause of the Dublin
III Regulation (Article 17 point 1) and act accordingly.
