EU Council approves stricter rules on migrant returns
Original: EU Council greenlights new rules enabling more effective returns
The EU Council has given the green light to new rules aimed at making the return of rejected asylum seekers and irregular migrants more effective. The legislation is intended to streamline deportation procedures across member states, a long-stalled priority for Brussels. Migration policy remains a divisive issue in Europe, and the decision is likely to draw criticism from rights groups while being welcomed by governments pushing for tougher enforcement.
Why now: Migration and deportation policy is a heated political issue in Europe, and the Council's approval marks a concrete legislative step.
