Amendments to the Reception Act are published

Go back to the Recent Developments Timeline

The amendments allow Fedasil to limit or withdraw material reception conditions when it is established that the applicant had already been granted international protection in another EU Member State, or when a minor applies for international protection after the parents had already applied for international protection in the child's name as well.

In addition, the amendments clarify that only Fedasil can provide material reception conditions for applicants, which consists exclusively of material support. Thus, applicants can no longer receive social assistance from the CPAS.
