Gerald Knaus fordert wie immer Drittstaatenabkommen nach #Ceuta. Das ist absurd, denn: Gerade mit Marokko will man ja ein Drittstaatsabkommen aushandeln. Wo sollen denn marokkanische Migrant*innen hin? Das führt doch zu nichts. www.tagesschau.de/ausland/euro...

My article examines detention in the current draft of the EU Return Regulation, which was supported by right-wing and far-right parties in the EU Parliament. The desperate attempt to increase return rates relies on deterrence rather than effectiveness and violates human rights.

The proposed EU Return Regulation would massively expand detention – and de facto criminalise migrants seeking asylum. RHEA KUMMER (@rheakummer.bsky.social) exposes where the draft violates the ECHR and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. verfassungsblog.de/eu-return-re...

This afternoon, we had a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. I updated President Zelenskyy and leaders present on two key priorities - support for Ukraine and increasing European defence preparedness.

Today, the EU has shown that we can deliver. The Council reached a general approach on the safe third country concept and the first EU safe country of origin list. These are all measures that will help process claims more effectively and reduce pressure on asylum systems.
