"Belgian Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Matters, Maggie De Block, announced, on 18 February, that Belgium will temporarily suspend transfers of asylum seekers, in accordance with the Dublin Regulation, to Bulgaria. This decision is based on a UNHCR report criticising Bulgaria’s deficient reception system for asylum seekers."
