Under discussion in what context?The paper touts partnerships with third countries as very important\u00a0means of stemming\u00a0for the EPP to tackle irregular migration by encouraging them to prevent departures and implement effective means of readmitting nationals. Those who do not cooperate with the EU should not receive European funds or visas, the paper states.Another controversial aspect concerns the Schengen Area. Several member states have temporarily reintroduced checks at their borders with other EU countries to deter so-called \u201csecondary movements\u201d of migrants, an idea also floated by incoming German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.While the suspension of Schengen\u00a0is generally criticized by the Commission, the EPP paper \u201crecognises the right of member states to reintroduce temporary internal border controls as a last-resort measure, applied exceptionally.\u201d The largest group in the Parliament now also strongly endorses a \u201ctemporary derogation from the right to asylum when migrants are instrumentalized as weapons against the EU\u201d,\u00a0something\u00a0that has already been done\u00a0by\u00a0a\u00a0prominent EPP member, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.The right to asylum is enshrined in EU law and in the 1951 Geneva Refugee Convention, which was originally adopted to protect European refugees displaced by World War II.\u201cThe EU must initiate a dialogue on adapting the Geneva Convention to the current world,\u201d in order to address \u201cthe legitimate concerns of member states regarding security and migration management,\u201d according to the document.\u00a0Other ideas contained in the position paper include a crackdown on family reunification of refugees, which \u201cshould require demonstrated integration and financial stability prior to its authorization\u201d, and the revision of the European Prosecutor\u2019s mandate to include investigations into migrant smuggling.ADVERTISEMENTFinally, the EPP\u2019s position paper considers the Italy-Albania protocol adopted to process overseas asylum requests addressed to Italian authorities as \u201ca first but decisive innovative step to dissuade illegal migration\u201d aligning on this with the views of the European Conservatives and Reformists and Patriots for Europe, the two main right-wing groups in the Parliament.MEP D\u00fcpont\u00a0describes this document as part of a “push\u00a0for a firm and fair asylum and migration policy that covers the most aspects possible”, she told Euronews. “We will reach out and work with the other groups on the basis of that spirit”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
