EU interior ministers who met in Copenhagen on Tuesday, generally approved the two recent controversial proposals of the European Commission aimed at restricting irregular migration to the block.
These proposals, called “innovative decisions” of the commission, include the appointment of third countries of asylum and immigrants, whose applications were rejected.
“We need to create innovative solutions and new agreements with countries outside the European Union,” said Dibbak Bek, Minister of Immigration and Denmark’s Integration, which is currently heading the EU. “I had good discussions with my colleagues, a lot of similar views.
According to the Danish Minister of Immigration, the obvious priority of the country’s presidency is to achieve a final agreement with the Migration Council, the return policy and cooperation with the third countries, while the commissioner admits that the conditions require “effective and quick control of immigration”. These are the conclusions drawn at the informal meeting of ministers of the internal affairs and immigration of the European Union, which took place in Copenhagen, as the Res-Eia is generalized.
British policy
By changing the definition of the EU “safe third countries”, the member states will be able to reject the asylum applications without verification and transfer applicants abroad, even if the immigrant has nothing to do with the site.
“Safe third country” is a country outside the EU, where a person seeking international protection is decided in accordance with “international standards”, and guarantees include protection of asylum of persecution and serious harm, respecting the principle of unrealism and the ability to access the operating system.
According to the proposal of the committee, the form of communication between the third country and the applicant is not required. Therefore, this change can lead to joint operations with countries that are not countries similar to the policy of Rwanda, carried out by the United Kingdom, which was considered the supreme court of the United Kingdom.
In the past, they were considered a taboo, many countries have currently accepted this idea, according to the Minister of Immigration of the Danish Minister.
“Many member states have changed their place in these areas. I remember when I was a new minister in this council three years ago, I think it was a little difficult to try to implement innovative decisions.
Although most countries, according to this proposal, agree with this proposal, a large reaction from the European parliament, with socialists and democrats, green and left traditionally oppose the more stringent rules of immigration.
Return nodes win the earth
Another innovative idea guaranteed in the rules of return will allow the member states to transfer applicants to asylum to the “returned nodes” outside the EU, ending with the bureaucracy to return their origin to the countries of their origin.
The proposal of the commission does not provide for the EU level for the construction of these centers of re -installation, but establishes the necessary legal basis to allow governments to conclude agreements with countries outside the bloc that may be ready to accept immigrants for economic incentives.
The two centers built in Albania, the government of the Italian government, originally intended for the placement of persons looking for asylum, became reputation centers and can serve as a model.
Other countries can follow an example with similar programs, as proposed by the French Minister of Internal Affairs Bruno. He commented: “France has constitutional obstacles (for some measures), but we have no one for the return centers. And I support everything that makes the return more effective“
Immigration is a priority for Denmark, which will probably contribute to the proposals of the committee, in particular, the rules on return: “We hope to reach a general agreement on the return policy within our presidency,” said Minister of Denmark.
The Commissioner for Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner believed that Denmark was “very agreed” with the agenda of the Committee Day over the next six months. He refused to determine the specific goal for the actual compensation for the payments of rejected immigrants from the EU countries, which will be achieved after the approval of the rules of the procedure.
Brunner emphasized the need for a more functional immigration system. As he said ‘From the point of view of immigration, we continue to reform the shelters and the immigration system based on the pact on the provision of asylum and migration. In the first months of the new committee, we offer the missing parts. The pact is a stable basis, but there is still a lack, for example, regulation of profitability, a revision of the concept of a safe third country and a list of safe countries of origin. All this is necessary for the formation of a more operating system of immigration. “
At the same time, he emphasized the importance of external measurement and the need for closer cooperation with third countries, as well as an increase in financing, which is included in the next seven years of the EU, to manage migration and protect its external borders, indicating the commitment of the committee to support the presidency in these areas.
Finally, in the need to combat organized and cross crimes, emphasizing the strengthening of cooperation both in the European Union and the third countries, the Minister of Justice of Denmark Peter Hammelhard.
Many countries seem to agree with the proposals of the committee. Austria, Germany, France, the Czech Republic and Poland recently signed a joint statement to strengthen the profitability of immigrants, strengthen external borders and build corporate relations with third countries.
