Firstly , the historically low levels of asylum applications in most Member States mean that most Member States' asylum systems are currently under less pressure than in the recent past (though some border States have witnessed an increase in the asylum flows resulting, notably, from their geographical position).
Ten eerste: de ongekend lage aantallen asielaanvragen in de meeste lidstaten betekenen dat de asielsystemen van de meeste lidstaten momenteel minder onder druk staan dan in het recente verleden (hoewel de asielstroom in bepaalde grenslanden vooral door hun geografische ligging juist is toegenomen).
