Frankfurt (Hesse, Germany) – Paris and Berlin have requested the European Fee to accentuate efforts in opposition to unlawful immigration, particularly by negotiating a migration settlement with the UK.
Brexit has severely affected “the coherence of migration insurance policies” throughout the EU, wrote the resigning French Inside Minister, Gérald Darmanin, and his German counterpart, Nancy Faeser, in a joint letter to the European Commissioner for House Affairs Ylva Johansson, obtained by AFP.
The Fee should “rapidly current a draft negotiation mandate with a view to an settlement with the UK on asylum and immigration points”.
Mr. Darmanin made the identical request in early September after the dying of at the least twelve migrants off the coast of France.
Migration routes to the UK characterize “nearly a 3rd of unlawful entries” into the Schengen space, the ministers reminded.
Nonetheless, “the dearth of authorized views in the UK encourages clandestinity and fuels smuggling networks”. (21 September 2024)
