The AIDA (Asylum Information Database) project aims to provide independent and up-to date information to the media, researchers, advocates, legal practitioners and the public on asylum practice in EU Member States. The project is jointly coordinated by ECRE, Forum Réfugiés-Cosi, the Irish Refugee Council and the Hungarian Helsinki Committee. As part of the project, 14 national country reports (AT, BE, BG, DE, FR, GR, HU, IE, IT, MT, NL, PL, SE, UK) will be published in May and June 2013 and will then be updated every 6 months. The country reports focus on the legislation and practice with regards to asylum procedures, reception conditions and detention of asylum seekers. A dedicated website which will present the country reports, comparable indicators, video testimonies of refugees and asylum seekers, advocacy resources and relevant news will be launched in July 2013. The first edition of the country reports is available on the project’s page.
