Interior Minister Seehofer said the German government had to get the immigration done increasingly in the grip. the

In Germany, looking, in the meantime, significantly fewer people than in the previous years. In the past year, the number of asylum declined initial requests to 162 000. The Minister Horst Seehofer announced the Federal interior at the presentation of the asylum figures for the year 2018 and the migration report 2016/2017. Most of the refugees came from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

According to the peak values from 2016, with more than 700 000 initial applications were like the Figures in 2017, much on well 198 000. Among the asylum applications in the year 2018 32 000 children under the age of one year, said Seehofer. 35 percent of asylum applications were successful, said Hans-Eckard summer, the President of the Federal office for Migration and refugees (Bamf). The processing time of applications on average lasted three months.

Also, the protection rate fell further. In about 35 percent of the cases, the Federal office for Migration granted protection. In the year 2016, the total protection rate in the Form of asylum, refugee status, subsidiary protection or a deportation ban, as well 43 percent.

Seehofer said the German government had to get the immigration done increasingly in the grip and the tension between humanity and control remarkably well mastered. Union and SPD had agreed in the coalition agreement a span of a year, 180 000 to 220 000 people as an upper limit for the influx of Protection seekers. In the reduction of refugees, new asylum laws would have to pay, but also the closing of the Balkan route and the Deal with Turkey helped.

“will accompany The Migration for us for years to come,” said Seehofer. He plans no job cuts at the Federal office for Migration and refugees. The staff were well trained and would be needed for Integration and repatriation.

A quarter of all initial applications, 44 167, was placed by Syrians. Around ten per cent came from Iraqis. There are people from Iran followed, with almost 11 000 applications, as well as from Nigeria, Turkey, and Afghanistan, each with about 10 000.

The migration report for 2016 and 2017 shows that the total immigration to Germany is on the decline. 2017 there was, therefore, with 1.55 million entries to Germany is 16.9% less immigration. Two-thirds of the people had come from European countries, mainly from Poland and Romania. The 1.12 million emigrants would be prevented. This number has increased significantly. “The immigration to Germany is, again, the majority of European and, increasingly, to the study and acquisition activity,” said Bamf-President the summer. “This is good news.”

The annual migration report includes this time in two years, because there was the Bamf, according to technical changes in the compilation of the population statistics.

Already before the official announcement of the data had been reported to Pro-asylum managing Director Günter Burkhardt. Although the number of new applications is declining significantly, “Germany increased the pressure on EU border States, through an increase in intra-European deportations,” he told the AFP news Agency.

Pro ASYL call for instead of “a solidarity-based European policy approach of the Federal government,” added the managing Director of the human rights organization. “The recording commitment is called for from distress Rescued to a significant extent, and the consumption of the miserable camps of the Greek Islands.” Germany have the necessary infrastructure and capacity to do so.
