ECR: Historic Parliament vote marks the beginning of the era of returns

The ECR Group hailed the European Parliament’s final approval of the new EU Returns Regulation as a historic victory for common sense and a turning point in Europe’s migration policy.​

The result was met with applause and cheers from MEPs across the centre-right, conservative and right of the chamber, underlining the political significance of the vote. The new Regulation strengthens the return of third-country nationals who have no right to stay in the European Union. It introduces stronger cooperation obligations, allows detention for up to 24 months, and potentially longer under certain conditions, strengthens the mutual recognition of return decisions across the EU, and enables the use of return hubs in third countries.

MEP said:

“Common sense has prevailed. We delivered.”

For the ECR Group, the vote marks the end of a failed approach in which return decisions were too often made but not enforced. The new framework gives Member States stronger tools to prevent absconding, deal with security risks and ensure that a return decision finally means return.
Weimers said:

“The far left never wanted a real return regulation. The far left wanted endless appeals and unused detention. The far left wanted to ban return hubs. The far left opposed unlimited entry bans for terrorists and criminals. In short, they fought to preserve a dysfunctional, paralysed system that returns almost no one.”

The new regulation also strengthens Europe’s external migration policy by allowing return hubs in third countries and making cooperation on returns a central part of the EU’s approach to migration control.
Weimers said:

“It will now be possible to build big return hubs in third countries. We can enforce unlimited entry bans not just for serious criminals, but low-level criminals too, and detain criminals for as long as necessary.”

For the ECR Group, today’s vote shows that new majorities in Europe can correct the mistakes of the past and move from symbolic migration policy to enforceable results.

“Illegal migrants must understand: you will never make Europe your home,” Weimers said.

This all sounds quite Rwanda-y which our Supreme Court decided wasn’t on so without bothering to do any research myself unless maybe the Sweden game is awful I’d appreciate someone spoon feeding me the difference.

'Big return hubs in third countries' is exactly the same. It always amused me that Starmer binned Rwanda on Day One yet his beloved Arsenal is sponsored by 'Visit Rwanda', can't be that bad then...
