The Dublin Unit operates in the Department of Civil Liberties and Immigration of the Ministry of Interior and in the context of the Central Direction of Civil Services for Immigration and Asylum.
The aim of the Unit is to determine which EU Member State is responsible for processing a specific asylum application submitted by third-country national or a stateless person in another EU Member State. At the same time, the Unit carries out all relative activities of support (presentation of parliamentary questions and legislative amendments, taking part to meetings also at EU level) as well as judicial activities.
