New rules for treatment of seeking asylum in EU countries published on the site of the EC is the executive body of the EU, reported Interfax.

The rules state that for the first half of this year, EU countries have received 103,500 new applications for asylum. Most applicants - refugees from Iraq.

Recall that in June the European Parliament in Strasbourg majority adopted new rules for expelling illegal migrants from the EU. Now will provide custody for a period of 6 months, in some cases - up to 18 months, they will be denied entry into the EU for 5 years. Presumably the new rules come into force after 2 years.

According to the European Commission last year in the EU countries had been filed 220 thousand applications for asylum.

Now immigration services EU is not able to send more than one third of illegals.

At the same time, it is noteworthy that among the EU countries were not divided on the issue of asylum and repatriation of migrants. As recognized in the EC adopted are still guidelines were not sufficient to guarantee a uniform level of protection for refugees. Introduction of uniform rules would prevent the practice, where refugees after the dismissal of a petition for asylum in one EU country are trying to get it in another.

EU Commissioner for Internal Policy Jacques Barrot proposed the creation of the European Bureau with the support of migration processes (EASO), which will advise the EU in order to improve the procedure for granting refugee status. The EC is also in favor of the admission of refugees from regions of the world, experiencing a crisis. Thus, the EU plans to help countries in Asia and Africa, where refugees live in camps, hundreds of thousands of people.
