The system allows tracking the costs for each single person. Consequently, the annual reception expenditure incurred on the relevant budget lines (chapters 2351 pg 2 and 2353 of the Ministry of Interior) is taken into account in relation to the percentage of asylum seekers who lodged the application starting from January 1st.<br />In the light of the above, the annual expenditure is based on the total number of persons who lodged an application starting from January 1st, the average decision time and the daily cost per person (in 2019: 38,722 adults * 365 days * Euro 27 per person per day + 159 minors * 365 * Euro 45). The cost for minors is equal to an average of Euro 45 in line with the grant contribution provided to the Fund for the reception of minors.
