In 2011, the 27 EU Member States received more than 300 000 asylum applications, a 16.2% increase from 2010. Although this remains far below the peak of 425,000 applications received in 2001, increases in asylum flows can stretch the reception capacity of some Member States. The Commission has proposed to improve the overall efficiency of EURODAC, the system which facilitates the quick and correct identification of the Member State responsible for assessing an asylum claim. |
