No refugees have been sent to Hungary from Germany since April 11th, despite an EU agreement which stipulates that refugees should apply for asylum in the first EU member that they entered. Germany is still working with Hungary to try and establish the point of entry of refugees into the EU. In 2015 Germany stopped applying the Dublin rules to refugees who first arrived in the EU in Greece. In recent months the Dublin rules have been reintroduced for the Mediterranean country, the government said.
