 Secondary movements of beneficiaries of international protection

The purpose of this report is twofold. First, it examines how Member States regulate the transfer of responsibility of a beneficiary of international protection from a first State to a second State, a transfer of responsibility regulated in Art. 28 of the Geneva Refugee Convention and Art. 2 of the European Agreement on Transfer of Responsibility for Refugees (EATRR) which refers to the transfer of responsibility for the issuance of the travel document for refugees. 

And secondly, the report explores the situation in which beneficiaries of international protection, already recognized in a first State, submit applications for international protection in a second State.
