The transfer of an applicant for asylum to Malta violates the Regulation (EU) no 604/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 (“Dublin III Regulation”) because Malta’s asylum procedures and system show systemic deficiencies with the inherent risk of subjecting an applicant for asylum to inhuman or degrading treatment.

Netherlands - Court of The Hague, 16 October 2015, AWB 15/11534

Country of Decision: Netherlands
Country of Applicant: Ukraine
Keywords: Best interest of the child, Child Specific Considerations, Dublin Transfer, Material reception conditions, Reception conditions, Request to take back, Vulnerable person, Withdrawal of protection application

There is a real risk that, due to overcrowded accommodation, Hungary can no longer receive returning Dublin claimants. Because of inadequate shelter, the claimant and her two minor children may be subjected to accommodation conditions which contravene Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Before the return of a vulnerable Dublin claimant occurs, Hungary must first be asked to provide guarantees of adequate shelter.
