Lack of EU Coordination on Migrants

Human Rights Watch reports on developments in EU migrant policy and handling. Last week they published the article EU: Asylum Proposals Go in Wrong Direction, which in our view gives in compact terms the quality of (risk) management in the matter of migrants.

“(Brussels) – The European Commission proposals on European Union asylum policy overwhelmingly reflect the negative political climate in Europe and the trend toward curtailing refugee rights, Human Rights Watch said today.

The commission’s communication, released April 6, 2016, proposes some important and positive measures. But it emphasizes restrictive, even punitive, steps to deter asylum seekers’ access to the EU and their movement between EU countries.” >>
