Federal government plans stricter asylum procedures: No more Federal Council approval!
Deutschland - The federal government is driving its plans for reforming asylum policy. A central point is the classification of countries of origin as safe. This could be done in the future without the Federal Council's consent, reports mdr . The aim of this measure is to organize, control and limit the migration flow. At the same time, one hopes to relieve the deportions of rejected asylum seekers from these countries that already live in Germany.
In order to achieve these objectives, the government plans to rely on the classification of secure countries of origin only on EU rules. The hope is that new regulations accelerate the return process of people without prospect of staying. The green criticism expressed in response to the suggestions. Their position says that the measures are largely ineffective and should rather serve to convey a feeling of hardness and consistency, said Greens boss Felix Banaszak.
planned European measures to return
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser supports these plans and emphasizes the need for an effective return system at European level. In addition, deportation decisions are to be recognized across the EU, which should help to close existing loopholes. However, critics fear that these measures could violate the rights of refugees, and there is resistance from the SPD and various NGOs.
The situation of the highly qualified migrants
In contrast to asylum policy, the introduction of the EU Blue Card shows that a work and residence permit for highly qualified people from non-EU countries shows that Europe remains attractive to specialists. In 2023, around 89,000 highly qualified non-EU workers received this permit, with Germany contributing the largest number with 69,000 exhibitions, such as Eurostatmain recipients of the EU Blue Card were citizens of India, followed by Russia and Turkey, which shows a targeted address of specialists from abroad. In addition, 451,000 permits for study and research were issued in the EU countries in 2023, whereby Germany also recorded the most approvals here.
Developments at both national and European level illustrate a focus on controlling migration. While the federal government is pushing to a faster return of rejected asylum seekers, the EU shows a positive approach to integrating highly qualified migrants. A field of tension that is likely to be the focus of political discussions in the coming months.
