EU member states approve stricter rules on migrant returns

European Union member states on Thursday definitively approved a tightening of migration policy aimed at facilitating the return of migrants without the right to remain on the territory of the Union. The measures also include the possibility of establishing return centers in so-called third countries outside the European Union. kultura.pravda.sk ↗

Interior ministers of the member states discussed the new rules on Thursday in Luxembourg. The discussion concerned ways to increase the number of deportations of people who do not have authorization to stay in the EU, and how to make the procedures for their return more efficient. hnonline.sk ↗

The approved changes will allow member states to use return centers located outside the territory of the Union. Such facilities are meant to serve migrants who remain in member countries without the right to stay. Details about how the centers would operate, or about the countries in which they might be established, have not yet been specified. irozhlas.cz ↗

The tightening of the rules represents a further step in member states' efforts to increase the number of returns carried out. The ministers also addressed some countries' plans to move part of the return procedures outside the territory of the EU.

The new rules are intended to create a more common framework for the return of migrants in member states. Their application will depend on further procedures of individual countries and on agreements with third states. novinky.cz ↗
