EU Reaches Deal on Migrant Deportation Centres
The rules would let governments expand detention, fines and biometric checks as only about 20% of ordered departures are carried out, the commission says.
- In BRUSSELS, the European Union agreed on June 1 on new rules allowing member states to establish "return hubs" outside the bloc for individuals whose asylum claims have been rejected or ordered to leave.
- The European Commission proposed these measures to streamline deportation procedures after European Commissioner Magnus Brunner noted only about 20 per cent of people ordered to leave currently depart the European Union.
- Under the new rules, authorities may seize belongings, collect biometric data, and search "relevant premises" for detentions, while coercion is permitted as a last resort to obtain fingerprints.
- Describing the measures as a "legal arsenal" serving a "xenophobic ideology," French Green lawmaker Camara voiced opposition, while Minos Mouzourakis of Refugee Support Aegean warned of "extremely dangerous practices."
- Human rights activists report that deportations to Greece are already increasing in recent months, even as the legislation awaits formal approval from European Union governments and the European Parliament.
