Germany is no longer the country where the most people apply for asylum in the European Union, fresh data released by the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) on Monday shows.
By the end of June 2025, France (78,000) and Spain (77,000) both received more applications than Germany (70,000), which has been the main destination for asylum seekers in recent years.
By the end of June 2025, EU countries plus Norway and Switzerland received 399,000 asylum applications, a 23% decrease compared to the first half of 2024.
