Investigating human rights crisis regions who had no adequate psychological support and a lack of interpreters for psychological therapy and medical exams. The Federal Ministry of the Interior plans to redesign the support provided by the Federal Government. From the perspective of the AOB, the following principles are important in case of a restructuring: Smaller accommodations Numerous smaller accommodations are preferable, as such accommodations are not only easier to manage but also more pleasant for asylum seekers. Ethnic conflicts can be prevented more easily and women, families and unaccompanied minor refugees can receive better care. The Federal Ministry of the Interior should look for buildings that belong to the Federal Government, e.g. barracks, in the vicinity of the Regional Directorates of the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum. Last but not least, in accordance with the Federal Basic Welfare Support Act 2005, the Federal Ministry of the Interior jointly with the Federal Ministry of Defence and Sports can declare barracks as support centres by way of a directive in the case of bottlenecks. These buildings must be modified to adapt them to the refugees’ needs, especially the needs of children. Good access to infrastructure The accommodations should be in municipalities that are not too small, as the acceptance in larger cities and municipalities would be greater and the infrastructural requirements would be met more easily. For the asylum seekers, access to communal facilities (event centres, sports facilities) is important. Particular care must be taken to ensure that minor asylum seekers can attend school. The Federal Ministry of the Interior must massively insist on compliance with the agreement under Section 15a with the Laender. Viewed from a political vantage point, political deference to the interests of the Laender may be understandable, but it creates – as is currently obvious – more problems than it solves. Access to the labour market All asylum seekers share the uncertainty regarding their own future, regardless of how long their asylum proceedings actually last. It is still the case that asylum seekers may not work as non-self-employed workers, even if their proceedings take longer than six months. Their access to the labour market is blocked by way of a decree of the Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection. Minimus standards in accommodation Thus far, refugee reception conditions under the Basic Provision Agreement, the cost of which is borne by the Federal Government (60%) and the Laender (40%), are organised differently in each Land, whereby the quality of care differs widely. Binding minimum standards that are uniform Austria-wide would be necessary. 60
