The German experience has been an issue for several years. Many asylum seekers from various European countries were trying to make their way to Germany. As a result, Germany ended up with a much higher proportion of asylum seekers. In that sense, it’s perhaps a bit like the situation in Quebec. However, Germany is not a point of entry nor the first country asylum seekers enter. You could say it’s a secondary migration. They pass through other countries. Germany wanted responsibilities to be shared with other European partners, because migrants and asylum seekers inevitably had to cross through other countries, but they ended up in Germany. That is why Germany wanted this system to be changed.
As I said, this was an ongoing problem for several years. Now, according to the government and the public, they have too many asylum seekers. That's why they are seeking to encourage their European partners to distribute these asylum seekers.
