Ireland is looking to implement emergency legislation to enable the return of asylum seekers to the UK, as Taoiseach Simon Harris seeks to address the increasing influx of arrivals through Northern Ireland. This comes amid concerns that Rishi Sunak's deterrence strategy, known as the Rwanda plan, is rerouting asylum seekers towards Ireland. 80 percent of asylum seekers from Northern Irish borderHarris has urged Justice Minister Helen McEntee to bring forward proposals to the cabinet next week, highlighting the need to address the potential impact of Sunak's deterrence measures on Ireland's asy...

Britain’s Home Secretary James Cleverly has said the government is doing all it can to stop dangerous small boat crossings, after news that five migrants had died in an attempt to cross the English Channel. Cleverly is in Rome to discuss ways to accelerate joint work to stem illegal migration from North Africa. His visit comes a day after the UK parliament passed the controversial Safety of Rwanda Bill, which will see some illegal migrants in the UK sent to the central African country. “This vital legislation means we can now proceed with our Rwanda plan and begin removing people with no right...

A coalition of European digital rights groups say that the European Union’s sweeping new Migration and Asylum Pact will "usher in a deadly new era of digital surveillance". The Protect Not Surveil coalition, which includes groups like the Border Violence Project, Privacy International, and Access Now, said in a statement that the pact "represents the further embedding of surveillance technologies in the EU". "It therefore represents a further erosion of fundamental rights, and the normalisation of digital surveillance at, and within, borders, justified by an approach to migration policy based ...

This week, we are joined by Jan-Christoph Oetjen, German MEP from Renew Europe, Damien Boeselager, German MEP from Volt and Laura Shields from Red Thread EU. Our panel broke down the EU migration and asylum pact that got the green light from MEPs this week in Brussels. EU member states now need to rubber-stamp the deal - most likely by the end of this month. The huge stack of EU legislation has been under discussion for years. It seeks to change a status quo under which countries like Italy, Greece and Malta face the massive burden of processing and integrating refugees and asylum seekers. "I ...

"All member states have to implement it and apply it," Ylva Johansson, the Commissioner who spearheaded the sweeping reform, told Euronews on Thursday. "If not, the Commission will of course act and use – if necessary – infringement (procedures)," she added. "But I must say that I'm pretty convinced that member states will implement the Pact now quite quickly." The New Pact is a set of five inter-connected pieces of legislation aimed at establishing common, predictable rules to manage the reception and relocation of asylum seekers. This, the thinking goes, will turn the page on a decade of go-...

This is one of the eye-catching takeaways from an exclusive Euronews poll conducted by Ipsos among almost 26,000 respondents across 18 member states ahead of the elections to the European Parliament, which will be held between 6 and 9 June. The first-of-its-kind survey shows that 51% of Europeans have a "negative" assessment of the bloc's impact on migration policy, while only 16% have a "positive" view. Meanwhile, 32% say the impact has been "neither positive nor negative." The trend cuts through genders, age groups and occupations, and is consistent in most countries, where the negative side...

Migration is one of the most controversial political subjects but a project to collect the sounds of this phenomenon will try to re-shape the debate around this issue. Migration Sounds has called for people to send sounds which represent moving away from their country to start a new life in a foreign country. These sounds will then be given to musicians and composers to make a piece of work which be used in the project. The idea is the brainchild of Cities and Memory and COMPAS, the Centre on Migration Policy and Society of the University of Oxford, in Britain Stuart Fowkes, sound artist and c...

"Do we need to work with third countries to manage migration? My answer is definitely yes. We are already doing that and it's necessary to do it even more. Nobody can manage migration alone," the European Commissioner for Home Affairs said on Tuesday afternoon. "So we need to work with partner countries and we need to work along the routes and we need to fight the smugglers together." "Should we send away people that are on the EU territory applying for asylum to a third country? My answer is no. (We're) not open for that in the Pact." Johansson was referring to the New Pact on Migration and A...

The document outlines a raft of proposed economic, social and institutional reforms. But at the core of the group’s election bid are three defining issues: migration, climate and defence. Among the plans floated are the controversial outsourcing of asylum applications to third countries based on the UK-devised ‘Rwanda model’, more financial support for farmers and fishers to adapt to the climate transition, and a dedicated EU defence budget. The EPP, which harbours Europe’s Christian-democratic, liberal and conservative parties, is set to remain the European Parliament’s biggest faction after ...

The report, published last week, concluded that Frontex is overly dependent on the consent of national authorities and is therefore ill-equipped to uphold European Union values and save lives at sea. The office of Emily O'Reilly also recommended the agency should "terminate, withdraw or suspend its activities" in countries that persistently disregard their search-and-rescue obligations or violate fundamental rights. Otherwise, O'Reilly warned, the EU risks becoming "complicit" in migrant deaths. On Tuesday, almost a week after the report's publication, Hans Leijtens met members of the press in...
