EU Proposes Stricter Deportation Rules for Rejected Asylum Seekers

The new legislation aims to streamline deportation processes, enforce cooperation, and introduce shared EU-wide return decisions.

• The EU Commission has introduced a new deportation regulation to address the low return rate of rejected asylum seekers, currently below 20%.
• A key feature is the mutual recognition of deportation orders across all EU member states to prevent migrants from evading deportation by moving to another country.
• The proposal enforces mandatory cooperation from rejected asylum seekers, with penalties such as detention, reduced benefits, and extended re-entry bans for non-compliance.
• Plans include potential deportation centers in third countries, though these remain controversial due to human rights concerns and legal challenges.
• The legislation, part of broader EU migration reforms, requires approval from the European Parliament and member states, with no set timeline for implementation.
