Brussels wants to facilitate the European Union to take asylum seekers
propagandaEuropean Union countries may refuse without consideration Asylum requests He was transferred to the applicants, according to the amendment of the concept of “third safe countries” It was suggested on Tuesday by the European Commission.
According to the proposal, Citizens are not citizens seeking asylum It can be transferred more easily to a country considered “safe”, where they are expected to request international protection, completely similar to Rwanda deportation policy in the United KingdomWhich the Supreme Court announced illegal.
Changing standards
The powers of member states can already transfer them to Asylum seekers To “the third A safe country“If he accepts this and some rulings are respectful. According to the standards of the European Union, the third safe country is a country that does not belong to the European Union in it. A person looking for international protection Receive a deal with “international standards”.
Among the guarantees is protection Resorters against persecution And serious damage, respect for the principle of non -return, the possibility of receiving effective protection under Geneva Convention on the Law of Refugees And access to the asylum system that works, with the privilege of education and work permit in addition to residency rights.
A good example of the “third safe country” application in the current legislation is 2016 European Union announcementAn agreement that allows the countries of the European Union (for Greece) to transfer applicants to resort to Turkish territory. yetbut, There was a need for a type of contact between the applicant The third state, as a previous residency or a relative there, is that the transfer was legal.
The committee now proposes to change this position by giving “more flexibility” to member states when determining how to determine “a third safe country”. The connection will not be mandatory anymore Between the applicant and the third safe country, but it is permissible for member states to be appointed as safe countries in which the request for asylum has traveled on the way to Europe.
They can also Set insurance for those countries that can reach an agreement. After that, they must notify the aforementioned committee, although there is no central list of “third safe countries” at the European Union level. In practice, this means that the asylum applicant may end practically anywhere, and away from his country of origin or any familiar country.
The committee also suggests that the resources provided by applicants resort to Decisions based on the concept of the third safe country They no longer have the effect of suspending any transfer. Instead, applicants who flourish their resources may return to the member state from which they were transferred to submit an application.
A controversial political issue
Legislation is a “specific amendment” for Organization on asylum Which was approved during the last legislative council, as part of the great reform of the immigration policy in the European Union, and the agreement to immigration and asylum. “The third states must play their role“An official in the European Union said during a technical media session on this issue,” said a European Union official said during a technical media session on this topic.
Currently, five European Union member states have developed a list of third safe countries, most of them inside Europe. But the elasticity of the standards can increase the numberEspecially if the third countries reach an agreement to accept the transfer agreements.
The proposal is now transferred to colleges, European Parliament The Council, which represents member states, whose positions on planned changes are adopted. LaterAlong with the European Commission, The three institutions will work to agree on a common textAnd that will finally enter into force.
The European Popular Party, the largest group in the European Parliament, said, The proposal “Send the correct message” And “it is a decisive step towards creating an effective, fair and fair asylum system,” according to a reporter issued by the German EURODPUTA LENA DüPont, a spokesman for the Immigration Immigration.
More left wing of the European Parliament is expected. Socialists and DemocratsThe vegetables/beer and the group are traditionally opposed to the left standards.
Non -governmental organizations are very skeptical with the proposal. Olivia Sondberg Dies, defender of the revenue and generalized arbitrary detention in the third countries, said. Amnesty International The European Union accepted immigration and asylum.
