<p>This indicator shows the number of first-time asylum applicants per million inhabitants and the number of positive first-instance decisions per million inhabitants. A first-time applicant for international protection is a person who lodged an application for asylum for the first time in a given Member State. First-instance decisions are decisions granted by the respective authority acting as a first instance of the administrative or judicial asylum procedure in the receiving country. caution is required when comparing these two values, since applications received in a given year might not be processed until a later year. The source data are supplied to Eurostat by the national ministries of interior and related official agencies.</p>
