Council of the European Union: Position of the Council at first reading with a view to the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing the criteria and mechanisms for determining the Member State responsible for examining an application for international protection lodged in one of the Member States by a third-country national or a stateless person (recast) - common guidelines (15605/12, pdf)

There was a deal between the European Parliament and the Council on the Dublin III Regulation last autumn, and the legislation was due to be adopted in December. However, this was delayed so that all the remaining asylum legislation could be adopted at the same time. There was a deal on the remaining asylum legislation just before Easter, so all the measures will probably be adopted officially in June, although this timing is not yet certain. The Regulation will apply six months after adoption, so probably from December 2013.

Our work is only possible with your support.
