AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law amending the rules on the 'safe third country' concept in asylum procedures.
The law aims to make the concept's application more flexible and consistent across member states, including by making the 'connection' requirement optional and changing appeal rules.
Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal.
