reThe long-announced major reform of the EU asylum system is experiencing a setback. In a letter from the heads of government of Spain, Italy, Greece and Malta to the head of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and to Chancellor Angela Merkel (both CDUs), the “imbalance” of the reform concept presented by Brussels in September in a letter available to WELT AM SONNTAG.
Senders are demanding that “compulsory redistribution” of newcomers within the Union is no longer provided. Furthermore, the foreseen “compulsory asylum procedures at external borders” should be reviewed. The planned establishment of “large closed asylum centers” is “unacceptable”. States, on the other hand, want to continue to decide for themselves which migrant groups they want to carry out speedy border paperwork for.
The trade union parliamentary group Vice Thorsten Frei told WELT AM SONNTAG: “If the riparian states insist on their position, the chances of reaching an agreement on the key points of the reform that the federal Minister of the Interior, Horst Seehofer ( CSU), will decline considerably this year. ” “He describes it as politically indispensable. “If this pillar collapses, the whole building collapses.” Without them, “the reform would not be approvable from a German perspective.”
