Minister Marjolein Faber informed the house of representatives today, in a letter, About Cost-Saving Changes for the Country’s Asylum Reception Centers. The changes are in line with the coalition agreement and comply with the European reception conditions directive.
From now on, Asylum Seekers Will No Longer Receive Catering. Instead of Centrally ProVeded Meals, They Will Cook for Themselves. In Addition, Those with Their Own Income or Assets Will Contribute To Their Healthcare Costs.
Daily in-house registration will also be more strictly enforced, and the interview explaining rights and bligations will Carry Greater Weight. Asylum Seekers Will Now Be Clearly Informed About the Consequences of A Negative Asylum Decision.
Faber:
‘I am working Towards More Basic Reception Centers with Clear Rules. Everyone must meet Their Obligations. This is not a luxury resort. “
The Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) is Working Out The Det Details of the New Measures. The full letter is available in Dutch at ASSOCHING Asylum shelter | Lower House of the States General
