The Bundestag advanced legislation to implement the common European asylum system, including the possible creation of centers in Germany for people whose asylum procedures fall under another EU country. The plans may impose residence and stay obligations, restrict movement within Germany and reduce social benefits for people required to leave.
According to the source, the measure concerns Germany’s preparations to apply the common European asylum system rather than the ordinary relocation process for work, study or family reasons. If implemented, applicants whose cases are assigned to another EU country could face residence and movement restrictions in Germany as well as reduced social benefits. The development primarily affects asylum seekers and people covered by the EU rules allocating responsibility between member states. Those considering protection in Germany should follow the reform’s further progress, while its relevance to other relocating groups is limited.
