The regulation applies to all third-country nationals and stateless persons seeking asylum within EU territory, including borders and territorial waters. It defines key terms such as "applicant," "Member State of first entry," and "vulnerable persons," including minors and victims of serious violence.

Key principles of the draft emphasize that every asylum application must be examined "individually, objectively, and impartially." Member States are required to provide access to effective asylum procedures without discrimination while upholding fundamental rights as outlined in the EU Charter.

Responsibility for examining applications generally lies with the Member State of first entry, but may be transferred for reasons like family reunification or humanitarian concerns. The draft also suggests establishing a centralized mechanism to promote solidarity and fair burden-sharing among Member States.

This regulation marks an important step towards a more coordinated and fair European asylum policy.

Germany has expressed concerns that the current system places disproportionate responsibility on countries of first arrival, such as Greece. Germany advocates for a more balanced distribution of responsibilities to ensure that no single country bears an excessive burden.

Greece has highlighted the need for support from other EU countries, particularly those not on the front lines, to assist with financial resources, personnel, and logistical support. This includes facilitating the relocation of refugees to other Member States to alleviate pressure on border countries.

Bulgaria has raised concerns about its infrastructure's capacity to handle increased asylum applications, requesting additional support to manage the situation effectively.

The Council is deliberating on mechanisms to ensure fair responsibility-sharing, including potential financial contributions and relocation schemes, to support Member States facing disproportionate challenges in managing asylum applications.
