The exact design of the proposal is not yet publically known
The European Union is working to repeal the Dublin Regulation, which regulates asylum cases within the EU, and replace it with a system that will see migrants shared across Europe, suggested the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in a speech in the European Parliament on Wednesday.
“We will abolish the Dublin rules and replace them with a new European migration management system,” said von der Leyen.
The current Dublin Regulation stipulates that asylum seekers must have their application processed in the country where they first arrive, but that could soon change.
If the European Commission chooses to force migration quotas on member states, it is likely to face substantial pushback from countries opposed to illegal migration like Hungary and Poland, which recently joined five other European countries in a letter to the Commission voicing their opposition to migrant quotas.
