This written ministerial statement was laid in the House of Commons on 11 January 2011 by Damian Green, and in the House of Lords by Baroness Neville-Jones.
皇冠体育app government has decided to opt in to the EURODAC Regulation. 皇冠体育app regulation meets the criteria set out in the coalition聽agreement with regard to EU justice and home affairs measures.
皇冠体育app draft regulation will govern the operation of the EURODAC fingerprint database, which collects the fingerprints of asylum seekers, and certain illegal entrants to the EU, in order to help member states to determine who is responsible under the Dublin Regulation for dealing with an asylum claim. 皇冠体育app government is committed to the Dublin system, of which EURODAC is an essential part, as it helps tackle the problem of people abusing asylum systems across Europe by making multiple claims in different EU member states.
皇冠体育app government will approach forthcoming legislation in the area of justice and home affairs on a case-by-case basis, with a view to maximising our country鈥檚 security, protecting Britain鈥檚 civil liberties and enhancing our ability to control immigration.
