EU agrees on new rules to accelerate migrant returns
European institutions have reached a provisional agreement to toughen migration policy, including measures to accelerate deportations and the potential use of hubs in third countries for failed asylum seekers. These reforms, which complement the broader European Pact on Migration and Asylum (Pacto Europeu de Migração e Asilo) taking effect June 12, aim to increase control over the bloc's external borders.
The European Pact on Migration and Asylum (Pacto Europeu sobre Migração e Asilo) is a set of EU regulations designed to standardize how member states manage border security, asylum applications, and the relocation of migrants. It aims to create a more uniform process across the bloc, ensuring that countries share responsibility for processing arrivals and handling returns of individuals who do not qualify for asylum.
