EU summit: urgent need for reform for migration policy

The clock ticks! When the EU heads and government heads come together on Thursday and Friday to their decisive summit, the course for a complete realignment of migration policy is at stake!

Patricia Lips, the deputy chairwoman of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, raises the alarm: "The EU summit urgently needs to set the direction for a sharper course in migration policy!" Your clear announcement: The previous measures for asylum reform are simply not enough to stop the unchecked irregular migration to Europe, and especially to Germany.

urgent need for action

The numbers speak a clear language! Of the almost 500,000 people who are obliged to leave, less than one in five leaves the EU. Patricia Lips calls for drastic acceleration and simplification of the returns. "We need a fundamental renewal of the EU return guideline as a new set of rules for deportations!" This is the only way to achieve real progress.

Another important piece of the puzzle in this complex migration dossier is the concept of the safe third countries. Lips emphasizes the need for return centers that are in harmony with international law. In addition, new agreements with transiting and countries of origin urgently need to be concluded in order to ensure effective control of migration.

uniform standards for those seeking protection

"We should not forget: In order to decisively limit the irregular migration, we have to adapt the standards in the care of those seeking protection in all EU countries," says Lips. This means that the EU countries have to create uniformity and justice for all those seeking protection.

lips makes it clear that it is not just about political discussions - but about acts! The Federal Chancellor must now take responsibility and initiate the necessary changes at the EU leaders. The migration pressure is there and the signs are on storm!

Background: The CDU/CSU faction is firm for freedom, cohesion and personal responsibility. With a strong focus on a free, democratic constitutional state and the agreement of Europe, the Union, chaired by Friedrich Merz

Berlin looks forward to the summit with a mixture of hope and tension. Will the EU set the course correctly? The answer could have far -reaching consequences for the future of Europe!
