New EU asylum law: Asylum law reform: Majority now going through the fast-track procedure
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 people from safe countries of origin or countries with an EU-wide recognition rate of 20% or less.
Those rejected in the accelerated procedure can be deported even if they have a pending court case, unless they successfully apply for emergency protection. The government also reports that there are currently 282 places for people in border procedures, with locations in Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, and Pforzheim.
