Comments on Council Regulation (EC) No. 343/2003 (the Dublin II Regulation)

In light of the coming evaluation of the Dublin II Regulation, the Standing Committee wants to bring to your attention three issues of concern. The first is that of procedures concerning subsequent applications, which may lead to return of asylum applicants to their country of origin without any substantive examination of their asylum application. The second concerns
suspensive effect of appeals lodged against the application of the Dublin II Regulation. The third concerns family unity.
