The Finnish Ministry of the Interior's press office told ANSA. For Finland—which becomes the fourth country to send Dubliners back to Italy after Germany, Switzerland, and Austria— "it is important that the rules on responsibility for examining asylum applications are applied as intended, and that all EU member states fulfill their obligations under the pact."
"For Finland, it is crucial that the rules on accountability for examining asylum applications are applied as intended and that all EU member states fulfill their obligations under the Pact," the Interior Ministry press office emphasizes.

"We have continued our cooperation and dialogue with Italy over the years," the statement continues. "We believe that the entry into force of the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (AMMR) allows for the resumption of transfers to Italy, and such transfers are currently being prepared."
