This proposal for a directive represents the first step on the road to harmonising the asylum process at EU Member State level.
As our Group has pointed out, Parliament’s report sets in stone some of the worst aspects of the agreement reached by the Council on the same proposal, such as the removal of the ‘super safe country’ concept, which is criticised by the United Nations Commission for Refugees, and the possibility of appeal in the event of an asylum application being refused and the applicant being allowed to remain in the country until the appeal process has been completed.
The amendments tabled by our Group and our vote in plenary, however, are further attempts to remove other negative aspects, including:
the rejection of a period of detention for asylum seekers, especially in ‘detention centres’ for illegal immigrants;
the rejection of the concept of ‘safe third country’, because the analysis of a period of asylum should take account of each individual case; consequently, the idea of setting up an arbitrary list of countries should be rejected. After all, on what criteria should such a list be based?"@en1
