Reçu via la mailing-list Dublindeportations. Intéressant...
we have just discussed the same thing on another mailing list and here is what a French activist answered us:
Let’s see what’s behind the rumours.
– when an asylum claim is registrated, the fingerprints are systematicly taken and checked in #EURODAC database;
– to obtain the collaboration of some charities to send migrants away from Calais, the minister of interior promissed that migrants going away from Calais in accommodation and orientation centers and asking for asylum will have their asylum claim processed in France even if have their fingerprints in another country. This promisse has been more or less respected, but it was anyway for people from Calais in a certain xontext and in a certain period - now it’s finished.
– other than that, they apply the Dublin procedure and exceptions are rare.
– untill last year French authorities were not puting a lot of energy to deport people in Dublin procedure, and it was possible to wait untill the 6 month delay finishes to have your asylum claim proceeded in France. Now they are deporting more and more, including people who are in the last weeks of their purgatory six month, and consider more and more people “on the run” ("en fuite") in order they have to wait 18 month before their claim to be proceeded.
And you have to add the delay to have to have your asylum claim registrated - period you spend usually in the street - and other difficulties to have your rights respected. French authorities have a repulsive policy to deter people to ask for asylum - or to ask for protection as unaccompagnied minor.
