Summary/Abstract: The migration pressure to Europe in 2015 resulted with the collapse of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) and some member states asserted that first entry or secondary movement of asylum seekers' constitute a burden on themselves. The European Commission (EC), therefore called for greater responsibility-sharing across EU member states, especially on the redistribution of refugees. The EC revealed this intention in 2016 with a reform process. It recommended seven proposals including Dublin reform and all of them refers solidarity in case of need. This paper examines scope and meaning of solidarity of the CEAS.
