EU member states seek to establish return centers outside the bloc
The European Union is shifting its migration policy by exploring the creation of return centers in non-EU countries for migrants whose asylum claims have been refused.
Just a few years ago, the idea of establishing migrant centers outside the European Union was considered politically almost impossible. Now the situation has changed. The European Parliament has approved a new return framework that facilitates the deportation process. Several EU member states have begun searching for countries outside the bloc to host migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected and who must leave Europe. These so-called return centers would be located in third countries, aiming to speed up the return procedure. The new regulation and this initiative indicate a significant shift in EU migration policy, moving from a previously cautious stance to a more active pursuit of external solutions.
