Description of the Hungarian asylum system

In view of the high influx of asylum seekers to Hungary (which began in the last quarter of 2014), EASO conducted a mapping exercise of the Hungarian asylum system. Different expert teams, comprised of Member State experts and EASO staff, examined the institutional and legal framework as well as the operational procedures in place in Hungary in order to provide a descriptive overview of the practical functioning of asylum and reception. EASO will now work with the Hungarian authorities on a needs assessment of the Hungarian asylum system and stands ready to further support Hungary in the near future.
