AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law to amend the rules on applying the 'safe third country' concept in asylum procedures.

The proposal makes the connection between an applicant and a third country optional and removes the automatic suspensive effect of appeals, while preserving judicial protection.

Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and forwards its position to the Council and national parliaments.
