The European Parliament authorizes detention centers outside the EU

Members of the European Parliament have adopted a regulation allowing the establishment of centers outside Europe to send back those whose asylum applications have been rejected.

The European Parliament took a decisive step on Wednesday by adopting a new regulation on the return of rejected asylum seekers. This legislation now allows member states to establish detention centers outside European territory. The stated objective is to expedite deportation procedures, a sensitive issue that has deeply divided public opinion and European governments for several years.

Centers outside the borders

The regulation includes a range of measures designed to make deportations faster and more efficient. States will be able to outsource part of the management of rejected asylum seekers, an option that responds to the demands of several capitals favoring a stricter migration policy. This provision paves the way for partnerships with third countries, modeled on certain agreements already concluded in recent years.
