EU proposes new migrant asylum rules
The European Commission proposed more unified EU asylum rules yesterday, in a bid to stop people waiting for refugee status moving around the bloc and disrupting its passport-free zone.
The proposal would standardise refugee reception facilities across the bloc and unify the level of state support they can get, setting common rules on residence permits, travel papers, access to jobs, schools, social welfare and healthcare. But if migrants do not effectively cooperate with the authorities, their asylum application could be jeopardised.
