UK government is tackling problems, well done! Patel promises overhaul of asylum seeker rules

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) ma 22 mrt 2021, 18:33

Parliament discusses humanitarian situation of migrants in Bosnia, and Danish Refugee Council mentions the elephant in the room: brutal pushbacks by Croatia, leaving migrants stuck in BiH without access to asylum or basic needs. The Commission has to end this shameless impunity.

Lara Wolters (PvdA) ma 22 mrt 2021, 16:07

Alleged involvement in illegal pushbacks of asylum seekers, undisclosed meetings with weapon lobbyists, a lack of fundamental rights monitors - there are too many concerns around #frontex so I cannot vote in favour of its budget discharge.

All Member States must comply with EU asylum & migration law, in accordance with the Geneva Convention & Protocol, which remains a cornerstone of refugee protection. Better compliance is essential. #MigrationEU 1/3

Jeroen Lenaers (CDA) wo 10 feb 2021, 13:04

An efficient return for those without legal grounds to stay in the EU is a pre-requisite for a fair and sustainable EU Asylum and Migration policy. The effectiveness of return can only be improved if we increase coordination and strengthen the external dimension #MigrationEU

How long can European countries shy away from their responsibility to protect people who are stuck at our borders? We need a more just and humane asylum system in Europe.

Crystal clear judgement: Hungary broke EU law by detaining asylum seekers in transit zones and blocking access to asylum. It once again shows that Orban doesn’t care about human rights and the Rule of Law. It also sets red lines for the upcoming Migration Pact negotiations.

The Greek camp Moria is on fire. Will this be enough for the other Member States to relocate these refugees? They came for protection, but only found live-threatening circumstances. Didn’t we have a common asylum policy? bbc.com/news/world-eur…

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) ma 27 jul 2020, 16:32

While we eagerly await the new EU asylum & migration Pact we often overlook this: do EU countries actually commit enough capacity to implement current rules? Such as: enough staff for good procedures & decent reception centres? Sorry @EU_Commission, some homework for the summer👇

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) do 9 jul 2020, 16:50

+1President @vonderleyen response to the shootings at the Greek-Turkish border: she simply takes the denial by the Greek government as truth, despite clear evidence that asylum seekers were killed. The Commission shouldn't defend governments but hold those responsible accountable.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) di 7 jul 2020, 13:30

Furthermore, we have to look at the big picture. Why isn’t there a working European asylum policy? The @EU_Commission should not be so beholden to a few member states. It should live up to its responsibility and duty to initiate legislation.

Enough with the waiting. Act!

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) di 7 jul 2020, 13:29

Yesterday we spoke in @EP_Justice to @YlvaJohansson about refugees being pushed back across the border, without a chance to exercise their right to ask for asylum.

A simple “that’s not allowed” from @EU_Commission is just not good enough.

Advocate General rips Orbán’s treatment of asylum seekers to pieces: “fails to fulfil obligations arising from EU law”. If confirmed by #CJEU the HU “border procedure’ must be dismantled immediately.

In debate with Commissioners Várhely and Johansson, I stressed today the need to include migrants and refugees in Covid-19 measures. They are victims of confinement, lack of access to health services and asylum procedures and even of pushbacks. Their health and lives are at risk.

Landmark ruling: @EUCourtPress qualifies “accomodation” of asylum seekers in HU as “detention”. HU refusal to process asylum request also unlawful. @MargSchinas @YlvaJohansson need to take this ruling into account when drafting the Migration Pact

OK, now the Greek minister admits it: he doesn’t want to evacuate asylum seekers from the islands, as they cannot be returned to Turkey anymore. So their return is prioritised to protecting their health. Do other Member States step in?

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) do 2 apr 2020, 11:52

According to Frontex, Turkey doesn’t readmit any returnees from Greece since March. But what about pushbacks by Greece? And why are asylum seekers still detained in Greece, if they can’t be deported anyway?

German EU-affairs minister Roth expects 'a gesture of humanity' from the Dutch government, urges for support in the relocation of vulnerable asylum seekers from Greece. 'It is not realistic to wait until the Visegrad countries offer pledges, but the rest of the EU has to act now'

Commissioner Johansson starts the debate on the Greek-Turkish borders. She calls for the relocation of unaccompanied minors, but there is an urgent need to evacuate all asylum seekers and to ensure access to asylum. It not only concerns ‘our’ borders but also ‘our’ refugees.
