Compared to last year, this represents an increase of 64 percent. At that time there were 537,400 applications. However, the authority also pointed out that the number exceeded one million during the major displacement movement in 2015 and 2016.
In addition, EU countries granted protection to more than 4.3 million people from Ukraine against Russia’s offensive war. They do not have to apply for asylum. The war has been going on since February last year. As every year since 2013, most asylum seekers in Europe came from the civil war country of Syria, nearly 132,000 in total, representing 15 percent of all initial applications. This is followed by Afghanistan (13 percent) and Venezuela and Turkey (almost 6 percent each).
With 217,735 applications (25 percent), as in previous years, most applications were made in Germany. France (16 percent), Spain (13 percent), Austria (12 percent) and Italy (9 percent) follow. However, relative to the size of the population, most applications were submitted in Cyprus, followed by Austria and Luxembourg.
