As we all know, Italy and Greece are the main landing points for hundreds of asylum seekers and, as Member States, they have European and international obligations to protect people in need. But sometimes their reception systems are under a lot of pressure. Here comes EASO, the agency of the European Union created to enhance practical cooperation on asylum matters and to help Member States. EASO acts as a centre of expertise on asylum and provides support and assistance to the Member States’ asylum systems in need. Among its actions, the Agency has set up an “Early warning and Preparedness System” in order to enable Member States to be better prepared for coping with changing flows of asylum seekers. It also organizes trainings for the Asylum Support Teams; facilitates the resettlement of refugees from third countries; and provides information on immigrants countries of origin, essential for the officials during the asylum determination process.
