Sure! Here’s the translation to American English:
In the year 2024, the countries of the European Union handled a total of 151,830 requests for the transfer of responsibility to examine asylum applications to other member states. However, only 16,455 effective transfers have been implemented, indicating a decrease from the previous year, when 186,910 requests and 16,869 transfers were recorded. This 19% drop in requests and 3% drop in transfers highlights the fluctuations in the use of the Dublin system, which regulates the examination of these applications.
Germany has established itself as the country that sent the most requests, with a total of 74,581, followed by France with 30,986 and Belgium with 12,501. Together, these three countries account for 78% of all requests made in 2024. In contrast, the lowest figures come from Latvia, with 32 requests; Spain, with 52; and Slovakia, with 66.
In terms of outgoing transfers, Germany also leads the list with 5,827 transfers, followed by France with 2,624 and the Netherlands with 2,245. Meanwhile, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland reported very low numbers, with only 2, 3, and 6 transfers, respectively.
Regarding incoming requests, there were 167,561, with 16,828 transfers from other EU countries. Italy was the main recipient of these requests, with 42,807, followed by Croatia, which recorded 23,721, and Greece with 17,163. These three countries account for 50% of all incoming requests. On the opposite end, Ireland, Estonia, and Slovakia had the lowest numbers in incoming requests, with 92, 129, and 232, respectively.
The data on incoming transfers show that Germany again stands out with 4,591, followed by France with 2,201 and Croatia with 1,698. In contrast, Estonia, Cyprus, and Ireland received the fewest transfers, with only 6, 9, and 14, respectively.
These numbers not only reflect the unequal burden faced by some countries compared to others but also underline the ongoing implications that the Dublin system has on the management of migration within Europe.
