Germany Introduces New Migration Measures Paving the Way for Romania’s Full Schengen Accession

Key Points

1. Germany's Consideration for Deportation: Germany is contemplating deporting migrants to Afghanistan and Syria.
2. Facilitating Romania's Schengen Accession: This measure is believed to support Romania's accession to the Schengen Zone concerning land borders.
3. Partnerships for Migration Management: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized the need for international partnerships to manage irregular migration effectively.

Germany is evaluating the possibility of deporting migrants to Afghanistan and Syria, a move that could facilitate Romania's full accession to the Schengen Zone regarding land borders.

This initiative was announced by German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, who is in discussions with federal states about the matter. Austria has also announced similar measures to tighten migration rules and reduce irregular migration.

“We are negotiating confidentially with various states to open avenues to make deportations possible again in Afghanistan. Violent criminals should consistently be deported if released after a prison sentence in Germany. And we want to consistently expel and contain Islamist threats. I want the federal police to support the federal states responsible for such measures as quickly as possible,” said Nancy Faeser, German Interior Minister.

The Minister highlighted ongoing contacts with authorities in Uzbekistan and Syria regarding this issue. Recent reports indicate growing support among German citizens for the deportation of rejected asylum seekers, with even some refugees backing the idea.

New Measures for Managing Irregular Migration

German authorities recently returned an Afghan family to Poland, sparking controversy and a statement from Poland's border service condemning the action as unlawful. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk plans to discuss the incident with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

Germany aims to reduce its attractiveness to migrants as it remains a preferred destination for asylum seekers within the EU. On June 19, Chancellor Olaf Scholz committed to managing the situation with irregular migrants more effectively, advocating for global partnerships to handle returns of those not permitted to stay in Germany.

“To ensure that we don’t have to handle it alone, we have to find partners in the world to help us achieve our goals,” said Chancellor Olaf Scholz, defending Germany's current policies on controlling irregular migration.
