"It is crucial for Finland that the rules on accountability for examining asylum applications are applied as intended and that all EU member states fulfill their obligations under the Pact," the Interior Ministry press office emphasizes. "For our part," it continues, "we remain committed to ensuring the effective implementation of accountability procedures."
"We have continued our cooperation and dialogue with Italy over the years," the statement continues. "We believe that the entry into force of the Asylum and Migration Regulation (AMMR) allows for the resumption of transfers to Italy, and such transfers are currently being prepared."
