European Sources: Efforts to Strengthen the Mechanism for Deporting Rejected Asylum Seekers and Improve Their Repatriation System

SadaNews - Sources confirmed that Europe intends to discuss how to make the European Union more flexible in addressing migration crises, as well as paying special attention to improving the European deportation system and the repatriation of rejected asylum seekers.

 

European Union interior ministers met in the Danish capital yesterday, Tuesday, to discuss European migration and security policies.

European sources indicated that the discussions among the interior ministers focused on several issues, primarily the repatriation of rejected asylum seekers, combating irregular migration, fighting organized crime, and drug trafficking activities.

The same sources added that the ministers discussed how to make the European Union more flexible in facing migration crises, as well as paying special attention to improving the European repatriation system, including the possibility of establishing specialized centers outside the European Union and enhancing the role of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex).

It is noteworthy that German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt attended the consultations in the Danish capital, after he had already called for "a stricter approach to migration policy during a meeting in Bavaria last Friday with the interior ministers of Austria, France, Denmark, Poland, and the Czech Republic," which included larger deportations, including to Syria and Afghanistan," according to the same sources.
