The "Dublin Regulation" provides for the possibility of individual member states agreeing to put in place, as between themselves, arrangements for the rapid exchange of information, in particular fingerprint data and responses to requests for taking back applications. We would envisage that where such arrangements are in place there would be a fast-track process whereby the two countries would communicate by fax with each other and a quick decision would be made about a person, which would enable them to be sent back to the safe third country. Such agreements have also been entered into by certain states that are parties to the Dublin Convention, for example, Denmark and its neighbours. Prompt return of an asylum applicant to the appropriate state where the claim should be determined can be achieved when rapid response arrangements are in place. If they are not in place, the whole system breaks down in a kind of bureaucratic nightmare. Any appeal can be determined after the return and the person can be detained for a short period in order to facilitate the return.
