France's system for moving asylum seekers from the Paris region to other parts of the country has helped ease pressure on accommodation, but is not being used to its full potential and remains unevenly applied, according to the country's public spending watchdog.
The Cour des comptes – France's independent auditing body – said the redistribution plan had become an effective tool for tackling a long-standing imbalance between the large number of asylum seekers arriving in the Paris region and the limited accommodation available there.
