The Federal Administrative Court decided that single, employable and non-vulnerable men, who obtained international protection in Greece, are currently not threatened with degrading or inhumane living conditions, which could result in a violation of their rights under Art. 4 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, if they were to be returned to Greece.
Asylum applications from for the aforementioned group of single, young and non-vulnerable men, who have been granted international protection in Greece, can therefore be rejected as inadmissible in accordance with the Asylum Act Section 29 (1) No. 2 (AsylG) in line with EU law. This was decided today by the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig, thereby clarifying the return-relevant situation to Greece.
