The European Parliament on Thursday (26 March) approved proposals to establish migrant “return hubs” outside the European Union, aiming to manage rejected asylum applications and tighten immigration controls. The vote passed 389 to 206, signalling progress toward implementing the centres, which would house migrants whose applications are denied.
Under the proposals, those refusing relocation could face detention or entry bans. Supporters include Denmark, Austria, Greece, Germany, and the Netherlands, while countries such as France and Spain have questioned their efficacy. Human rights groups, including the International Rescue Committee, warn of potential “legal black holes” for migrants.
Negotiations between lawmakers and member states will determine the final legislative text.
