Why are there Community rules regulating the reception conditions for asylum-seekers?
The Treaty establishing the European Community specifically requested the Council to adopt minimum standards on the reception of asylum-seekers in Member States. This would be an integral part of the Common European Asylum System called for by the EU Heads of State and Government meeting in Tampere in 1999. Since then, asylum has been considered an issue to be tackled at EU level.
