Migration: Asylum law reform - majority now going through the fast-track process
The new EU asylum rules bring accelerated procedures for many applicants. Those who are rejected and appeal against it can already be deported before the court has made a decision.
Germany's federal government reports that since the new EU asylum rules took effect on June 12, 2,093 accelerated asylum procedures and 1,561 regular procedures have been initiated. The accelerated procedures, which must be completed within three months, are used for applicants from safe countries of origin or countries with an EU-wide recognition rate of 20% or less.
The government also states that 282 places are available for border procedures, with locations in Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Berlin/Brandenburg, and Pforzheim. Between June 12 and August 21, 36 border procedures were completed, with 22 protection requests rejected.
