EU plans tougher migration measures: deportations, visa curbs and return hubs
The EU unveiled a five-year migration strategy focused on cutting illegal arrivals, boosting deportations of failed asylum-seekers, and using visas as a diplomatic lever. Proposals include ‘return hubs’ outside the EU, harsher penalties and longer detention for those who refuse to leave, and pressuring third countries to take back nationals - sometimes via deals tied to aid and investments. A visa reform plan to restrict access for uncooperative countries and ease entry for skilled workers is due by year-end.
