Germany processes majority of asylum claims via accelerated EU procedures
Following the implementation of new European Union asylum regulations, the majority of asylum applications in Germany are now being processed through accelerated procedures. According to data from the German Federal Government, between June 12 and the end of July, 2,093 accelerated procedures and 1,561 regular procedures were initiated. Additionally, 2,013 cases were conducted solely to determine the responsible EU member state.
Under the Common European Asylum System (GEAS) reform, these accelerated procedures must be completed within a maximum of three months, with no possibility of extension. Such procedures are permitted for applicants from safe countries of origin or countries with an EU-wide recognition rate of 20 percent or less.
Notably, individuals rejected through these accelerated processes can be deported even while their legal appeals are pending in court. To prevent deportation in these instances, applicants must successfully file an urgent application for interim legal protection. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bamf) retains the authority to transfer a case to a regular procedure if the legal or factual complexities of the application are deemed too high for the accelerated track.
