On Wednesday, the European Commission presented its proposal for new common migration rules. It is a system of voluntary recipients in which countries that do not want to receive asylum seekers are forced to contribute in other ways, for example by being responsible for the return of those rejected.
According to Johansson, a first examination will be carried out at the external border of the EU where identity, health status and a security assessment are carried out to later inform whether a person can apply for asylum.
Among members of the Swedish parliament, the migration pact faces mixed reactions.
Moderate Maria Malmer Stenergard believes that volunteering is necessary for all member states to support the proposal. It welcomes the proposal for an initial assessment at the external border.
– The common asylum assessment that must be done quickly and be legally secure, where you quickly have the opportunity to return those who have little chance of receiving protection in Europe. This means you can focus more on those who have protective motives, he says.
It is difficult to know exactly how the new EU proposal will affect Swedish migration policy. The Swedish parliament will likely have to agree on new migration legislation before the EU machine has completely trotted out Johansson’s proposal.
M, KD and SD fear that The new proposal to expand the concept of relatives to include siblings will also have an effect in Sweden.
– I am concerned that countries that have already assumed great responsibility may continue to do so because they want to expand the concept of connection and allow asylum seekers to apply in countries with which they have a connection, says Maria Malmer Stenergard, (M) .
– Based on the fact that we have received many in the last 20 years, we have a large diaspora, many have relatives here, says Jonas Andersson, (SD).
Swedish democrats want I don’t see any migration policy in the whole EU.
– But there are good parts. The fact that compelling solidarity has been replaced by another approach, that one can buy oneself free from a redistribution of people is a step in the right direction. The scan to be made to quickly move on to the next step is also positive. All types of higher control are good, says Jonas Andersson.
Central party Jonny Cato considers that the proposal goes in the right direction but that it is still insufficient.
– We would have liked to see a compulsory redeployment in which all EU countries take joint responsibility. But then you may not have been able to reach it, he says.
Christina Höj Larsen from the Left Party calls the proposal a “sad defeat for the Commission” and believes that the Commission has adapted the proposal to countries that do not want to receive asylum seekers.
To say that countries can choose not to receive people who flee and instead help to expel them is to abuse the word solidarity. These are countries that are moving in an authoritarian direction, he says.
Christian Democrats emphasize that National self-determination must be weighed heavily and Sweden’s integration problems must be taken into account.
– Sweden has the largest difference in the employment rate between immigrants and native-born within the EU. Here, the EU must show understanding. Ylva Johansson, who was Minister of Labor for several years, is responsible for this failure when it comes to economic integration, says Hans Eklind, KD’s migration policy spokesman.
By contrast, Justice and Migration Minister Morgan Johansson (S) believes that M, KD and SD can reduce the number of asylum seekers if the new proposals are approved.
“Sweden already has the lowest number of asylum seekers in 20 years. My assessment is that if these proposals are approved, the number will decrease even more. All in all, the proposal means a greater order and order in the raising of the European asylum system, “Johansson writes in a comment to DN.
