To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the EU directives on asylum into which they have opted, and what are those from which they have opted out.

Lord Bates

Between 1999 and 2005, several measures harmonising common minimum standards for asylum were adopted. The six measures were the Dublin II Regulation, the EURODAC Regulation, the Temporary Protection Directive, the Reception Conditions Directive, the Qualification Directive and the Asylum Procedures Directive. The UK opted into all of these Directives.

The Reception Conditions Directive, the Qualifications Directive and the Asylum Procedures Directives were later revised but the UK did not opt into the revised versions and remains bound by the original Directives.

The Dublin II Regulation and EURODAC Regulation were also revised and the UK opted into the revised versions.

The Temporary Protection Directive has not been revised and the UK remains bound by the original Directive.
