The new EU migration policy: focus on return

1. Focus on the return.

The idea is to make the EU more effective in ensuring that those who are rejected return to their countries of origin. With a kind of fast track directly at the border for asylum seekers who are deemed likely to get a no. And with trade and aid, countries of origin must be able to receive people who are sent back.

– To be more successful with the return, we will focus a lot on the relations with the countries where you come from, to achieve good return agreements. But also the cooperation between the member states and I will invest enough new resources and forces of the Commission for the return work, says Ylva Johansson.

2. Eliminate the Dublin Regulation

The Dublin Regulation dictated that the first country an asylum seeker arrived should be held accountable. Instead, it should be more about where there is a connection. If the person has studied or has a sibling in another EU country, for example. This will mean that countries that have already received many people will have to take more responsibility, which will be offset by a “discount”.

Mandatory solidarity mechanism

If a Member State needs help to cope with migration, a mandatory solidarity mechanism must be put in place. What is new here is that other countries can contribute by assisting with the return, rather than receiving people who have been granted asylum.

“No one will be happy”

Now, this must be beaten and drenched before the European Parliament and, above all, Member States can accept a proposal.

– I don’t think any Member State is satisfied, but I think everyone will see that we have made a serious attempt to make a balanced proposal. With this proposal, we handle the migration. We distinguish between those who have the right to stay in the EU and those who do not have the right to stay. They must return. We have reasonable solidarity between member countries and the processes will be faster, says Ylva Johansson.
