Deze ad hoc vraag verzamelt voornamelijk informatie over berekeningsmethoden die worden gebruikt om de noodzakelijke opvangcapaciteit voor verzoekers om internationale bescherming te bepalen en over de flexibiliteitsmaatregelen die zijn ontwikkeld in geval van tekorten of overschotten. Het onderzoekt ook hoe EMN Lidstaten en Waarnemende Landen de uitstroom van begunstigden van internationale bescherming en afgewezen verzoekers om internationale bescherming naar huisvesting en andere vormen van huisvesting organiseren.

The Netherlands has decided to resume Dublin transfers of single, non-vulnerable male asylum seekers to Belgium, following a period in which such transfers were suspended after a Dutch court ruling. In April 2025, the District Court of The Hague, sitting in Groningen, found that single male asylum seekers risked being deprived of adequate reception conditions in Belgium, which could expose them to inhumane or degrading treatment. The ruling led to a halt in transfers under the EU Dublin system.

In a judgment issued on 11 April 2025, the District Court of The Hague, sitting in Groningen, found that single, non-vulnerable male asylum seekers face a real risk of being deprived of adequate reception facilities in Belgium, which could lead to inhumane or degrading treatment. This ruling follows previous decisions by Dutch judges who determined that Dublin transfers to Belgium could not be carried out due to insufficient guarantees of proper accommodation.

As part of the implementation of the government agreement of October 2014 as well as of the new reception scheme, the reduction of available reception places for asylum seekers has been approved by the Council of Ministers of 11 December 2014.
