existing legal provisions of the Dublin III Regulation and applying them in a harmonised way. It presents a tool to support the technical operation of the Dublin units, which can also be used as an instrument for self-assessment. The guidance is structured in 12 thematic sections covering all steps of the Dublin procedure from identifying a Dublin case to the point of the transfer. Each section includes specific common standards and indicators to facilitate the assessment of standards achievement. Dedicated boxes including good practices and clarifying remarks are drafted to support the interpretation of the guidance.</div> <a target="_blank"
