Where an asylum applicant first enters the EU
According to this regulation, unless other criteria such as family considerations
apply, the member state where an asylum applicant first enters the EU is
responsible for examining an asylum application. This regulation hardly fits for a
period of intensified migration pressure. It entails the risk that member states on
the EU’s external borders, which essentially are those countries responsible for
examining the applications, will be overburdened repeatedly or even
permanently. This situation can create severe problems.
