Countries want clarity about asylum procedures in third countries. 16 state leaders ask the traffic light government in Berlin to present initial results at the next federal-state conference on June 20th.
According to the will of the federal states, it will soon be clear when the payment card for asylum seekers that was agreed upon at the time will be available. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) believes such a shift in asylum procedures is generally possible, but only under strict conditions. The federal government had already anchored a corresponding audit mandate in its coalition agreement in 2021.
