Development of the common european asylum system

Sažetak

The number of individuals who sought international protection increased in the
west European countries during the 1990s. Faced with huge refugee crises and
bound by the proclaimed free movement of people in the EU territories and the
differences in the national asylum systems, the Member States were developing
intensive interstate co-operation in the fields of asylum and migrations. Before
the Treaty of Amsterdam entered into force on May 1, 1999, police and judicial
co-operation in criminal matters had belonged to the third pillar of the
European Union. It meant that asylum policy, migration policy, and policy
concerning citizens of the third countries defined merely as »the issues of mutual
interest« and belonged to the sovereign rights of the Member States. The Treaty of
Amsterdam established »Common European asylum system« and the common
asylum policy became part of the first pillar.
By signing the Stabilisation and Accession Agreement with the EU, Croatia
has assumed the obligation to incorporate the principles and rules of the EU
acquis communautaire in its legislation. This includes the asylum regulations
contained in Chapter 24 »Justice, Freedom, and Security«.
