It is also foreshadowed in reform of EU migration and asylum laws that the European Parliament puts to a vote on Wednesday, and which contains a provision for sending asylum-seekers to a"safe" third country. Even so, a couple of EU countries — Austria and Denmark — have expressed interest in following Britain's path.
Jens Spahn, a member of Germany's Christian Democratic Union party that is part of the EPP, argued that fewer irregular migrants would try to reach the European Union"if it's obvious that within 48 hours they would be sent to a safe country outside the EU," evoking Rwanda, Georgia and Moldova as possibilities.
It's the type of bilateral deal that EU countries could also strike with Balkan countries that hope to join the bloc,"for instance between North Macedonia and Germany," he said."It has a certain political logic to it," he said. It would be"a further step in the EU and member states pushing their responsibilities onto non-EU countries, despite the bloc only hosting a fraction of the world's displaced," said Stephanie Pope from the charity Oxfam.
