| Title | The Dublin System and its Impact on the Migration Flows and the Normative Landscape in Hungary, Poland and Slovakia |
| Summary | This paper analyzes how the Dublin System, which in the EU provides a framework for deciding about the responsible state for processing an asylum application, is affecting irregular and asylum migrants passing through the three Central Eastern European states – Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Moreover, I explore what effects this system has on the three mentioned states. Combining information from scholarly works, reports and statistics concerning the Dublin Regulation as well as irregular and asylum migration in Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, with interviews with experts in the researched field, the paper argues that irregular and asylum migrants are affected by the existence of this system. However, there is a problem with the measurement of this impact which is caused by the impossibility to obtain the exact data. Nevertheless, it is argued that this effect can be described as “large” since the Dublin System binds the asylum and irregular migrant to a certain state and therefore also to its whole asylum system. Furthermore, the importance of the impact can be concluded from the behavior of apprehended asylum and irregular migrants. On the other hand, the effect of the Dublin System on states is small. This is the result of the overall decreasing number of asylum seekers and of the fact that the asylum capacities of these states are projected for much larger numbers of asylum seekers. |
