The European Asylum Crisis
Heinz Faßmann
Vice-Rector for Research and International Affairs, University of Vienna
Abstract
Heinz Fassmann will present an overview about the current asylum flows from the main countries of origin in the MENA region to Europe, based on available statistics. Furthermore the demography and the qualification of the asylum seekers to Austria and Germany will be characterized. In the focus of the presentation will be a discussion of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and the question why the system failed and how it can be re-implemented. The EU has been working on the creation of the Common European Asylum System since 1999 and attempts were made to improve the legislative framework. Between 1999 and 2005 several legislative measures were adopted with the purpose to harmonise the common minimum standards for asylum. In that respect the Asylum Procedures Directive, the Reception Conditions Directive, the Qualification Directive, the Dublin Regulation and the EURODAC Regulation have to be mentioned. Finally an outlook about the European and national policy reactions will be presented.
(Papers and Powerpoint presentations, as far as available, are posted on our homepage http://wiiw.ac.at/events.html after the respective seminars.)
