| | What matters
• The Dublin Regulation is based on the assumption that all Member States ensure full and fair treatment of asylum claims. As long as this is not the case, it should be possible to suspend the Dublin Regulation so as not to send asylum seekers to countries where they will not have access to protection.
• The Dublin system is not a responsibility sharing mechanism. It increases pressures on the external border regions of the EU.
• Persons applying for protection should have the right to remain in the country where they have requested asylum, pending the outcome of an appeal against a decision to transfer them to the first Member State they entered.
• The Dublin Regulation must protect children by avoiding transferring them from one Member State to another unless it is in their best interest.
