> If I remember correctly, the Dublin regulation states that the EU country that will be responsible for the asylum will be the first one reached by the refugees... Not really first one reached, but first one where fingerprints were documented or an asylum claim was filed. This is why in the case of Syria for example, relatively many Syrian refugees are the responsibility of northern European countries like Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.
