problems. A total of 740 refugees were resettled during 1984 from South and Central America. C. Europe 14. During 1984, 19,268 refugees were resettled from Europe, a decrease of 8 per cent from 1983. Over 90 per cent went to Australia, Canada or the United States. Refugees also continued to seek migration from within Europe. After showing a gradual decline over several years, the number of Eastern Europeans arriving in Western Europe increased during 1984. 15. In those European countries from where resettlement is encouraged so as to enable them to maintain a "first asylum capacity" -particularly Austria, Greece, Italy, Turkey and Yugoslavia -the number of arrivals rose by 34 per cent from 1983 to 1984. However, resettlement from these countries decreased in 1984 by 24 per cent. As it is expected that the number of refugees who will be resettled in 1985 will be approximately the same as for 1984, a growing number of refugees will not be resettled and will remain in countries of first asylum. If this trend continues, it may have an adverse effect on the ability of these countries to continue their traditional "open door" policies. 16. UNHCR continued to rely on the understanding and assistance of some European countries which provide transit facilities for refugees from various parts of the world who are awaiting immigration or resettlement processing. This has enabled UNHCR to assist refugees whose situation in other countries had become difficult. D. East and South Asia 17. Resettlement remained the principal durable solution for Indo-Chinese refugees. From July 1984 to June 1985, a total of 31,570 Vietnamese refugees (boat arrivals) were resettled. However, resettlement movements decreased by 17 per cent from the previous reporting period with the result that the resettlement of boat refugees at the present rate barely keeps pace with new 
**Analysis**
The text primarily discusses the resettlement of refugees, their numbers, and the countries they are being resettled in. The text also touches on the concept of "first asylum capacity" and the challenges that countries may face in maintaining their traditional "open door" policies. This suggests that the text is related to humanitarian aid and relief efforts, rather than purely economic or environmental issues.
