EU plot to rush through new border rules in migrant crackdown exposed

Their solidarity contribution will vary depending on whether there is “a scenario of rescue operations at sea, a situation of pressure or an acute crisis”.

However, member states will be able to choose how to show their “solidarity” with one another, including accepting asylum seekers into their country, taking on the responsibility of returning “rejected” asylum seekers, or providing “operational support”.

Under the new plans, the EU would appoint a new Return Coordinator.

According to NGO Pro Asyl, the new rules would mean that “during the screening procedure and the border procedure, [non-EU migrants] are considered as not having entered the country.”
