After years of bickering, EU states have agreed to tighten EU asylum rules. In concrete terms, during the meeting in Luxembourg, the EU interior ministers discussed the distribution of asylum seekers in the European Union and the preliminary examination of asylum applications at the external border of the EU. There is already strong criticism of the EU reforms.
The central point: there must be “faster, stricter procedures at the external borders of the EU”, as Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) said in the run-up to the summit. In the future, states should have the right to detain – ie detain – migrants while asylum applications are pending. If the migrants are rejected, they must be deported immediately.
