Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation amending Regulation (EU) 2024/1348 to establish a Union-level list of safe countries of origin.¶¶ It lays down criteria and procedures for the adoption and amendment of the list, and rules for its application in examining international protection applications.
Key points
- The regulation establishes a common Union list of safe countries of origin, replacing national lists.¶
- The list is to be adopted by the Council on a proposal from the Commission, following consultation of the European Parliament.
- A country may be included if it meets criteria such as respect for human rights, rule of law, and absence of persecution.
- The Commission must review the list regularly and propose amendments when circumstances change.
- Member states must apply the list in examining applications, but applicants can still rebut the presumption of safety.
