The legislature can define a country of origin as a safe country of origin if it is possible to prove on the basis of the democratic system and of the general political situation in this country that no state persecution is to be feared there as a rule, and that the State provides protection against non-state persecution. That the State provides protection against non-state persecution means for instance that there are legal and administrative provisions in place to provide protection for the population, and that these are also made accessible to all and indeed applied. If a country has been qualified as a safe country of origin, the "default presumption" applies that there is no risk of persecution.

Germany considers the following countries to be safe countries of origin:

the Member States of the European Union
Albania
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ghana
Kosovo
Macedonia, former Yugoslav Republic of
Montenegro
Senegal
Serbia.
If an individual comes from such a safe country of origin, and if the asylum process is carried out, he/she will be afforded the opportunity during the interview to submit facts or evidence in support of the case that he/she is at risk of persecution in his/her home country, in derogation from the default presumption. Assuming that the legal prerequisites apply, he or she would be entitled to protection in Germany. If however the facts or evidence are inadequate to refute the default presumption, the asylum application is to be denied as manifestly ill-founded.

An individual asylum procedure is consequently available for each individual, including those who come from a safe country of origin.

Acceleration of the process
The safe countries of origin arrangement has the effect of accelerating the asylum process since the submission of facts is insufficient in many sets of proceedings to refute the default presumption, and hence the time-consuming process of taking evidence and carrying out factual investigations is avoided. In addition, the appeal periods are curtailed for asylum applications which are turned down as manifestly ill-founded. This also has the effect of accelerating the proceedings for court actions that are lodged with the administrative courts.

Obligation to reside in a particular place
Applicants from safe countries of origin are obliged to live in the reception facility responsible for receiving them until the Federal Office's decision is taken. Such individuals may also not engage in gainful employment during this period.

Hervorhebung_Gesetzgebung: Background information
Reasons for the legal amendments carried out in 2014 and 2015

A new law came into force in Germany on 6 November 2014 defining the states Serbia, the FYR of Macedonia, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, as safe countries of origin. The remaining states of the Western Balkans, that is Albania and Kosovo as well as Montenegro, were declared safe countries of origin when a further legal amendment came into force as per 24 October 2015.

The legislature has defined the Western Balkans as safe countries of origin as it appears to be guaranteed there that the prerequisites for granting refugee protection, asylum and subsidiary protection are met in isolated cases only for nationals of these states. The Geneva Convention on Refugees does not include poverty among its grounds for asylum. Furthermore, the background for the examination of whether the prerequisites apply in the Western Balkan states to define them as safe countries of origin were that, in the first nine months of 2015, 40.8% of all applications (from all countries of origin) were lodged by asylum-seekers from the Western Balkans, and only 0.3% satisfied the prerequisites for granting protection.

Thanks for that Rob, interesting.
But I thought there was mention of a couple of countries in mid East to be added to that list according to our news here.

From all accounts brought about by the number, told to be over 1 million, so called refugees who have taken up residence in Germany.

I wonder how many turn to the UAE or the likes of IRAN for a new home may be RUSSIA would take millions in there is plenty of room there? jp

The question of Global warming/Climate change does not go away.
We have had some record heat here in Oz but oddly none of the regular 'climatics' have said a word about it.

The cry now from many is why are we not allowed to debate the subject, but we have to listen to those in gov and opposition who claim they have the right to do so.

Today one of these 'climatics, told us there is only 12 years left before the world will fry to death as he put it!
He then went on about Batteries, Wind Turbines, Solar panels being the only way to save the planet.

Fine, tell that to some third world nations where they still burn dried dung to use on cooking fires.

But little or nothing is said about the fact that on some of those very hot days there was no wind, not enough to turn the wind turbines, we had to rely on 70% of our power from coal fired power stations.

In my opinion take the politics out of it and there will be nothing left to argue about.

But one scientist has put forward a concept which does consider thinking about.
This is not climate change or global warming according to him, but a natural cycle where seasons move.
He could well be right as here in our part of Oz Spring is coming earlier as is summer and Autumn.
Couple that with the movement of the Earth on it's axis and there could well be the problem.

Unless they have proof to the contrary all the symptoms that have been mentioned are mostly due to natural features of nature, and nothing will change that. The world is over populated and continues to skyrocket, which will be one of the biggest reasons for atmosphere change. The recent short burst of publicity shown about the earths magnetic field and the change of seasons points out to the average person with a brain the possibility of a slight change in the world inclination. What does your compass adjuster friend think he will have as good if not better theories than most. Cheers JS

Added to the above ... to the laymen like we all are this should be apparent to the publishers of almanacs and where they get their information from as regards the Suns declination at various times and if it corresponds to past diurnal changes . Any inclination from the approx 23.5 degrees it normally has should be measurable. The earth is dependant on the sun for its weather systems , it’s seasons, and nearly everything that the human being is reliant on. Our ancient forefathers knew who to worship. JS.....

John, my mate Tim who does the compass adjustments considers that the earth has moved significantly on its axis, it would only take one degree to begin some of the changes.

Good friend in Texas is involved in a number of industries including aviation and he tells me many of the pilots also think there has been a shift in the earths position.

World population numbers have almost doubled to 8 billion since 1980.
All mammals produce Co2 and Methane, all animal and vegetation that decomposes creates Methane, it could well be that much of the problem can be brought back to that.
