Proposal for a decision
Recital 30 a (new)

(30a) Consent of applicants or beneficiaries of international protection to relocation is an established principle in EU law, enshrined in Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 and by analogy in Article 5 of Regulation (EU) No 439/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) and in Article 17(2) of Regulation (EU) No 604/2013, in case of use of the discretionary clauses in the Dublin procedure. According to Article 10 of this Decision, Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 is fully applicable to this Decision. Consent is of particular importance in case the preferences of an applicant cannot be taken into account. If applicants would be transferred to another Member State against their will, secondary movement is a likely consequence. Therefore, in this case, the person should not be relocated but instead another person should get the opportunity to be transferred to the respective Member State. Since the number of applicants eligible for relocation is significantly higher than the places available for relocation, a shortage of applicants for relocation will not occur. In addition, refusal to be relocated is expected to be rare due to the high incentives for applicants to participate in relocation, as, even in case of relocation to a Member State not belonging to his or her preferences, it would allow for quick integration opportunities in another Member State with reception capacity and high standard reception conditions readily available.
