The Tornio refugee registration centre is testing whether asylum hearings could also be held at the centre.
 
So far, the centre has been receiving applications and registered refugees for asylum, but the actual consultations have been the responsibility of the local police.
 
According to the police, if the hearings are held entirely within the centre, it would speed up the handling of applications.
 
At the same time, it would also reduce the load on the local police departments.
 
The trials will start on Sunday, and the police are developing it in cooperation with the Finnish Immigration Service.
 
Meanwhile, slightly more than 200 refugees arrived in Torino on Saturday. In less than three weeks, the centre has registered more than 6,000 refugees.
