The EU calls seven countries as safe to accelerate migrants’ return

The European Union has identified the seven countries that it considers safe countries within the framework of asylum applications, especially from those countries.

Citizens from Kosovo, Bangladesh, Colombia, Egypt, India, Morocco and Tunisia will have their claims quickly for three months because of the assumption that they may fail.

Markus Lammert from the European Commission said it would be a “dynamic list” that could be expanded or considered, and the countries were rejected or removed if they were no longer viewed as safe.

Since the EU countries in 2015-16, they saw the influx of irregular migrants, they sought to reform the rules of the asylum.

The migration and shelter pact was agreed upon last year, but the EU says it comes into force by June 2026, it wants to advance through two key processing rules.

Last year, EU leaders called on the commission to come up with plans to accelerate migrants’ profitability, as EU figures suggested that less than 20% of people ordered to go back to their countries of origin.

According to plans, EU countries will be able to quickly monitor people who come from either safe countries or countries from which a maximum of one five applicants is provided.

European countries, which are candidates for joining the EU, will be automatically considered safe, although possible exceptions, such as for countries in war, such as Ukraine.

Among the countries that sought reforms was Italy, which has observed a great influx since 2015. Other countries, including Germany, imposed border controls, seeking to limit irregular migration.

Despite the fact that Italy is one of several member states that have already appointed safe countries, it is believed that the agreed list of the EU can restrain the asylum, focus on those who have more free rules.

Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt have recently seen a large number of irregular migrants to cross the Mediterranean.

The list was adopted by the right -wing Georgia Meloni government. Interior Minister Matteo Pyintadasi acknowledged this success for Rome that Bangladesh, Egypt and Tunisia were on this list before the “purely ideological political opposition”.

Italian judges blocked the application of Meloni to send Egypt and Bangladesh migrants at the Disulator in Albania, because while the government in Rome found them safe, the European court said it could not be considered safe if all their regions and minorities were not.

Now new proposals must be approved by both the European Parliament and EU member statesAnd some human rights groups expressed concern about plans.

EUROMED rights – a network of human rights organizations – warned that it was misleading and dangerous to call seven countries safe because they included “countries with documented rights and limited protection for both citizens and migrants.”

“We do not reduce the basic and human rights,” said Commission’s press secretary Markus Lamert. “According to the EU law, the states should make individual assessments of each asylum in each case.”
