EU states appear likely to agree this week on three of the seven EU asylum reform laws proposed by the European Commission in the summer of 2016. A senior Commission official on 18 June said provisional agreements had been reached qualification regulations, the reception conditions directive, and an EU resettlement agreement. EU states at the Council level are expected to support the laws on Wednesday, leading to an eventual plenary vote in the European Parliament. The Dublin regulation on asylum procedures and Eurodac, a fingerprint database for asylum seekers, remain to be sorted.
