Dear subscribers,
A more firm, pragmatic migration policy accepted by all: the equation seems impossible for the 27 of the European Union.
Presented on Wednesday by the European Commission, the new “pact on migration and asylum” received the following day an end of inadmissibility on the part of the Visegrad group (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia).
“The tone of the proposal is better,” conceded Hungarian Viktor Orban.
"But it's always the same approach: they would like to manage migration and not stop migrants."
For the record, here are the main points of this European reform:
End of the compulsory quotas for the distribution of refugees, a rule which has never been respected anyway;
end of the Dublin regulation, which made the processing of an asylum application weigh on the first country where it was registered.
Reinforcement of border controls, and processing outside Europe of asylum applications with little chance of success, within 12 weeks.
Establishment of a mechanism of “compulsory solidarity” between Member States which can contribute in several ways: by welcoming asylum seekers, by making a financial contribution or by participating in the expulsion of those refused asylum.
Strengthening of the agreements with the countries of origin to facilitate the referrals of rejected asylum seekers.
If a State has not returned the unsuccessful within eight months, it is required to receive them on its soil.
Difficult to predict the future of this reform project;
do not wish it the same fate as the “Dublin IV” regulation, overdue since 2016 and finally abandoned for lack of consensus between the member states.
But he will have to take the same course and gain the unanimity of the 27. In the current context, it is not won.
To the migration crisis
