CEAS (Common European Asylum System)

The Common European Asylum System (CEAS) is an agreement among European Union countries to work together to manage asylum seekers fairly and effectively. It sets common rules and procedures for granting asylum, ensuring that individuals receive protection under similar standards across member states. CEAS aims to prevent multiple applications in different countries and promote responsibility-sharing. It includes the Dublin Regulation, which determines which country is responsible for processing an asylum claim, and various measures to support refugees and improve the asylum process throughout Europe, while also enhancing cooperation between countries.
