Go back to the Recent Developments Timeline

A first Dublin centre in Germany will open in Hamburg-Rahlstedt as part of a pilot project supported by the Federal Ministry of the Interior. The centre will support the objective to further speed up the procedures for returning Dublin cases for which other EU states are responsible for the asylum procedure. Those who will be transferred under the Dublin procedure will only receive so-called bridging benefits in the form of benefits in kind for a period of two weeks.
