Hungary to Create 7,716 Border Places for EU’s Asylum System
The European Commission has recently released its implementing decision regarding the “adequate capacity” for asylum procedures at the European Union’s border under the new migration pact. János Bóka, the EU affairs minister, announced this news on his Facebook page.
The new pact, which Hungary had opposed, mandates that Hungary and Italy must ensure a total capacity of 15,332 for the border procedure. This amounts to more than half of all such capacity along the EU’s external frontiers. According to Bóka, Hungary is required to have a capacity of 7,716 while Italy must accommodate 8,016 individuals.
This decision has stirred some controversy, especially in Hungary, where there have been concerns about the implications of this new requirement. It remains to be seen how both countries will implement and manage this increased capacity for asylum procedures at their borders.
