As I’ve already suggested, I think this is an interesting model that warrants further study. The idea is that when an asylum seeker arrives, a computer program will determine which Land the person should go to. That is where the reception services, which my colleague mentioned, are waiting for that person. It is an indirect way of not forcing, but rather encouraging and guiding asylum seekers to go to certain regions. The idea is to distribute asylum seekers so that they do not all end up in large urban centres, as I had suggested. We want to distribute them across the regions. So they’re not just in Berlin; they’re also in Brandenburg or Thuringia, where services are waiting for them. We’re trying to distribute them. The Germans suggest that the public feels more comfortable with having control over its asylum seekers, and this allows the government to keep the doors open, so to speak.
