A sharp drop in successful asylum applications in Denmark
means the country now has one of the lowest approval rates
in the European Union. Only 26% of the submitted applications were successful
in the second quarter of 2017, down from 82% in the same period in 2016.

immigration services said the low approval rating was caused by a high number
of Iranian, Afghan and stateless seekers applications.
