According to the newspaper Corriere della Sera, Finland is preparing to resume transfers of asylum seekers to Italy. The announcement was made by the Finnish Interior Minister, Mari Rantanen, to the LaPresse news agency. "The transfers are currently in the preparation phase," said the minister. Helsinki is the fourth country to adopt this measure, after Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
The basis is the new Regulation on asylum and migration management, which came into force on June 12. The text was approved after six years of discussion between the European Commission, Parliament and the governments of the 27 member states. It maintains the Dublin rule, according to which the country of first arrival is responsible for examining the asylum application, with a corrective measure: an obligation of solidarity for the others. Migrant data is registered in the country of arrival and goes to Eurodac, a shared database, which allows for the return of those who have moved irregularly within the bloc.
Rantanen stated that all member states must respect their responsibilities under the Pact. It was not reported how many people will be affected. The minister also did not say whether the procedure will apply only to those who requested asylum after June 12th or also to cases prior to that date.
