On migration: The human rights situation at our EU borders is a disgrace. I urge the Presidency to stop allowing pushbacks; new legislation should not undermine but protect the right to asylum and ensure equal responsibility-sharing for refugees among the Member States.(2/5)

Liesje Schreinemacher Mon 10 Jan 2022, 16:43

My mission is to work on strengthening the international economic position of the Netherlands. And through development cooperation seek to help people in vulnerable places around the world. Tackling issues causing poverty, terrorism, migration, and climate change. 2/2

Case against @CaroRackete dropped! Good news. Criminalizing rescue at sea is not the answer, it is only meant to distract from the failure of the European Council to adopt a proper EU asylum and migration policy

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Fri 17 Dec 2021, 10:58

EU leaders in #EUCO fail to agree on covid measures, China, Russia, energy prices, migration, rule of law. Anything, basically. Why do we call them “leaders”? 🤔

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Thu 16 Dec 2021, 14:02

There is no migration crisis on the European borders, but a rule of law crisis. Watch the excellent intervention by my colleague @jcoetjen 👇 100% right!

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Thu 16 Dec 2021, 10:51

Since Lukashenko started instrumentalising migrants, the EU itself frames migration merely as security threat. Proposed adaptations to Schengen reaffirm this.

A geopolitical crisis needs a geopolitical solution. Not legalising pushbacks and tearing down rights of people in need.

Malik Azmani (VVD) Tue 14 Dec 2021, 19:21

Schengen is one of the EU's greatest achievements, but one we must keep improving in order for it to remain future-proof in face of today’s challenges (migration, security, EU prosperity). Good that EC is coming with proposals. Now the EP has to push on! #SchengenEU @RenewEurope

Suspending EU asylum rules is giving in to anti-migration rhetoric and fearmongers

What should be done?
👉🏼 Deploy @EASO to help 🇵🇱 with its obligations: process asylum-requests
👉🏼 Temporary facilities and EU relocation
👉🏼 Set up a well-functioning EU migration and asylum system

Calais, Belarus, the Mediterranean; as long as government leaders refuse to take a decision on a common European asylum and migration package, we keep having these crises.

With clear rules and capacity, we would be able to manage well and not roll from one crisis to the next.

I can’t underline this enough – the millions that are given to third countries under the header of the EU’s migration deals, should be conditional to human rights compliance.

Especially since the current scheme facilitates human rights violations, as we see happening in Libya.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Wed 6 Oct 2021, 07:55

If they cannot agree on Europe's role in the world, on migration, the rule of law, fiscal policies, covid measures or climate targets, then they do not really qualify as "leaders", do they

Esther de Lange (CDA) Wed 29 Sep 2021, 12:21

We need a whole-of-route approach with coordinated action & engagement with 3rd countries to ensure smugglers are stopped. That also includes better enforcement at home to make sure employment in informal economy ceases to be a key driver of irregular migration! #MigrationEU

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) Tue 28 Sep 2021, 19:32

Sighs of relief in other member states and with the European Commission. They found a safe port. Again. But now what? Looking away again, leaving countries like Italy, Malta and Spain to it alone? We need a humane 🇪🇺 asylum- and migration policy including real solidarity!

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Fri 24 Sep 2021, 12:36

"Europe can no longer ignore the need to harmonise its approach to stateless refugees and migrants"

Read @ENStatelessness director Chris Nash's take on statelessness under the EU Asylum and Migration Pact in his guest blog on my website:

Migration policy: stuck
Digital Europe: lagging
Rule of Law: eroding

Intergovernmental Europe is dysfunctional. @vonderleyen should keep that in mind, when she voices big ambitions for Europe. The Council, where member states agree to do nothing, is the graveyard of ambitions.

Samira Rafaela (D66) Wed 15 Sep 2021, 09:59

.@vonderleyen urges member states to speed up the decision making process on EU migration pact. It’s a matter of trust she says. The common ground is not so far away. We should welcome those who seek refuge.

Bas Eickhout (GroenLinks) Wed 15 Sep 2021, 09:54

We are getting to the tougher internal topics now: migration and rule of law (for the latter she changes in German; maybe hoping a new Bundeskanzler(in) will finally be vocal on that)

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Wed 8 Sep 2021, 12:03

@YlvaJohansson The European migration policy can and must be improved, it will only succeed if countries divide the responsibility for asylum seekers fairly and all pushbacks come to an end.

Time is running out. #Afghanistan. (3/3)

Today one year since the terrible fire in #MoriaCamp. After the tragedy, the EU reacted with strong words; faster and better migration procedures and 'no more Morias'.

A year has passed, but few of the promises have been fulfilled @YlvaJohansson. ⤵(1/3)

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Tue 31 Aug 2021, 08:00

More accurate title: “member state governments feverishly barricading the doors to Afghan refugees”. Gvts should stop trying to build a migrant-free fortress Europe. Asylum&migration policy cannot be only outsourced, protection must be offered in Europe too.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Fri 27 Aug 2021, 11:00

So @euco wants to outsource the “protection” of Afghan refugees to the model democracies and women’s rights champions in the region. Has it not learned any lessons about the risks of making Europe dependent on the whims of dictators and autocrats for its migration management?

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Fri 27 Aug 2021, 11:00

The ultimate cynicism: European government leaders prefer to make migration deals with dictators and undemocratic regimes, rather than agree a common migration policy between Europeans.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Sat 21 Aug 2021, 12:16

There are several EU instruments in different areas (incl security, migration) that could and should be activated. Political action is required, but Council, Commission and Parliament are reticent.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Tue 10 Aug 2021, 09:28

Instead of writing this kind of letters (addressing the electorate rather than the Commission), these ministers should get their act together and finally adopt the migration package that has been disgracefully blocked in Council for so many years.

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) Fri 16 Jul 2021, 14:06

Yesterday in @Europarl_EN we spoke about criminalisation of NGO’s -land and sea- trying to save and help migrants. ‘It’s not about your views on migration, but about our values. First save people in need!’ I asked @EU_Commission to actively fight desinformation around this issue.

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) Fri 9 Jul 2021, 11:34

Important initiative by @YlvaJohansson Today at 4 pm CET.👇🏼Tune in together with me. Broad 🌍 cooperation on #resettlement is essential.

One of the migration files blocked by @EUCouncil is the 🇪🇺 resettlement framework. Looking forward to work on it with @MalinBjork_EU cs

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) Tue 6 Jul 2021, 12:38

The Slovenian government will preside over a Council that is unable to find a common response to migration, Putin or Zuckerberg. That allows the deep rule of law crisis to fester, and to eat away at the EU’s foundations. My full comments here:

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) Wed 30 Jun 2021, 10:15

This breakthrough on the upgrading @EASO to European Union Asylum Agency is good news for the protection of fundamental rights in asylum procedures and a first step towards real 🇪🇺 solidarity in an effective common migration policy. 🙏🏼 @ElenaYoncheva @YlvaJohansson

Jeroen Lenaers (CDA) Tue 15 Jun 2021, 11:27

Lukashenko is acting on his threat to "weaponise" illegal migration against Europe.
On behalf of @EPPGroup, I requested an urgent debate in @EP_Justice with @YlvaJohansson & @Frontex director on the increasing migratory pressure on the Lithuanian border with Belarus.

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) Mon 7 Jun 2021, 09:53

This cannot persist within our community of values. The member states have to do a step forward and break the deadlock on the Migration Pact. Yes, we need a swift and well organized border procedure, but countries with less arriving migrants have to commit to relocation now.(2/2)

Thijs Reuten (PvdA) Thu 27 May 2021, 17:24

This afternoon we spoke in @Europarl_EN LIBE committee about the new Migration Pact. I said we must start living up to our 🇪🇺 principles of fundamental rights and human dignity. Urgent action needed by many member states on the pact regarding relocation and showing solidarity.

Tineke Strik (GroenLinks) Thu 20 May 2021, 10:42

🔹 A stronger role for the European Parliament to supervise the funds and agreements with non-EU countries on migration;
