A further step forward to give order to the management of migration in the European Union with, above all, a community vision, which puts an end to fragmentation. This is what the new regulation on repatriation promises – no longer a directive and therefore immediately applicable, compulsorily, by the individual Member States – that the Commission will present tomorrow in Strasbourg. According to the text – anticipated by Ansa – among the novelties there is an “European repatriation order»Which will accompany the national measures so as to be executable throughout the EU, the introduction of a ban on ingress and a substantial opening to the repatriation hubs, albeit respecting some principles. The regulation in general introduces more severe rules for those who do not have the right to international protection within the EU although (as evidenced by paragraph 11 of the introduction) “no one will be expelled or extradited to a country where there is a serious risk of being subject to death, torture or other degrading treatments”. That said, in the absence of the collaboration of the person in question, the authorities are authorized to determine the country of origin “on the basis of the available information” and indicate “the nation or the nations” most likely in the order of repatriation. Which precisely provides for the mutual awards by the 27 Member States. Article 10 also introduces, as mentioned, the establishment of the prohibition of entry into the territory of the EU To the person who “does not collaborate with the voluntary trial” of repatriation – who starts for all those who do not have the right to kindergarten – does not leave the Member State “by the date indicated” or moves to another Member State “without authorization”. The prohibition – which reaches a maximum of 10 years – also applies, on the basis of the provisions of article 16, to those who places “a risk of safety” of the EU countries. Those who commit crimes by providing for detention up to the expulsion and that must be read in a filigree with article 29, the one that regulates the other cases in which people can end up behind bars, including “the risk of escape”. The other novelty is the “possibility of repatriation” people “against whom a expulsion decision was issued to a third country with which there is an agreement or an agreement of repatriation (repatriation hub)», Albeit subject” to specific conditions to guarantee respect for fundamental rights “. In practice it is an opening to the Albania model. And here the criticisms of European socialists start. “The repatriating policy is part of a functioning migratory system and we believe that greater cooperation at the EU level can improve it”, explains the German MEP Birgit Sipper, S&D coordinator in the Commission for Civil Freedoms. “It would be a mistake to look at the United-Undi-Owning Kingdom or the Italy-Albania agreement: they are legally questionable and waste enormous quantities of money from taxpayers”. According to the text, the guidelines are however very stringent. The agreements can only be drawn up with countries where “human rights” are respected and must establish “the methods” of transfer, as well as “conditions” for the period of stay, which can be “shortly or more long term”. Finally, the agreement is accompanied by “a monitoring mechanism” to continuously evaluate the implementation of the agreement. In short, the possibility of outsourcing the migration supply chain will not give white paper. At the same time, in the regulation there is greater attention to the so -called “external dimension” of the phenomenon and transparency and coordination increases in the approach to third countries in the field of readmission, including data transfer. With the new rules, if approved, the percentage of repatriations should be improved, at the moment stops at 20% among those who receive a sheet of via at every corner of the EU.
