The proposed plan, includes a provision for the application of fines to those countries which will deny to accept their allocated numbers of refugees. It is expected that countries from central Europe will oppose this rule; Hungary has already scheduled a referendum on the subject.

The Commission notes that the new scheme, should it be accepted by the various countries, will make the Dublin Agreement more transparent and just while it will enhance its efficiency.

The proposal states that the evaluation of the asylum petition will be conducted by the country of entrance, unless the petitioner has relatives in another country. A corrective mechanism is proposed; its function will be to automatically adjust the allocation of refugees once a country has over passed  its allocated number depending on its population and economic robustness. 

In the case where a country will deny to accept the required number of refugees it will be obliged to pay a certain amount of money to the welcoming country as a solidarity fee.

The automatic re-allocation of the refugees, when their numbers swell beyond the capacity of the hosting  country will be done by the European Asylum Service which, according to the commission proposals, will become the successor of the EASO with even more powers.

The commission is also proposing to regulate discouraging measures so that the refugees will not be moving to countries other than the one where their asylum petition has been filed.   

The proposals include a system which will be taking into account the efforts undertaking by each country for the direct relocation of refugees to their countries of origin, as well as the enhancement of the guarantees for the protection of unaccompanied underage refugees

Finally, the Commission also proposes the enhancement of the Eurodac system towards a better control of illegal refugee entrances.
