In a letter to the EU home affairs commissioner, the German interior minister, Nancy Faeser, and her former French counterpart, G\u00e9rald Darmanin, said Brexit had gravely affected \u201cthe coherence of migration policies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe absence of provisions governing the flow of people between the UK and the Schengen area,\u201d they wrote, was \u201cclearly contributing to the dynamics of irregular flows and to the danger posed to people using this route in the Channel and the North Sea.\u201d Darmanin and Faeser urged the European Commission to \u201crapidly\u201d present \u201ca draft negotiating mandate\u201d for talks with the UK on asylum and migration. \u201cThe arrival in office of a new British government, demonstrating its intention to cooperate constructively with the EU, seems to us to be conducive to concrete progress on this issue,\u201d stated the letter, first reported by AFP.<\/p>\n<p>France has long sought an EU-wide asylum pact with the UK, but Germany has never signalled such strong support until now. Darmanin, who was replaced last week during the French government reshuffle, called for a migration treaty between the EU and UK in 2021 but failed to win support from other member states.<\/p>\n<p>The politics of an EU-UK migration deal could prove sensitive for Starmer\u2019s government, which has been accused by refugee charities of adopting the Conservatives\u2019 harsh language and policies on asylum and migration. France has wanted British officials to process asylum claims in the areas around French ports, a position rejected by previous Conservative governments, who feared this would encourage more people to seek entry to the UK.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of legal routes to the UK \u201cfeeds smuggling networks\u201d, the letter states. This month alone, at least 20 people have died attempting to cross the Channel in two separate incidents. British officials estimate that more than 22,000 refugees and migrants have arrived in England via irregular Channel crossings so far this year.<\/p>\n<p>The European Commission, which has previously rebuffed proposals to negotiate an EU-UK agreement, declined to comment on the letter. Under the last Conservative government, when EU-UK relations were at a low point during tensions over the Northern Ireland protocol, the EU home affairs commissioner, Ylva Johansson, signalled that a migration deal with the UK was not a priority, citing \u201climited appetite\u201d from EU member states.<\/p>\n<p>Asked to comment on whether the commission had moved on from Johansson\u2019s previous comments, a commission spokesperson said: \u201cOur positions on [EU-UK] relations are indeed well known,\u201d without elaborating further. Despite the support of the EU\u2019s biggest member states, the prospects of an EU-UK deal on migration any time soon appear slim. The EU executive is preoccupied with the transition to a new team of commissioners, who are not expected to take office until 1 December. An EU-UK summit is pencilled in for next spring, after the changeover of leadership at the EU\u2019s main institutions.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson said the \u201ccommission is fully working\u201d and would issue a reply to the letter \u201cin due course to the appropriate authorities\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2024\/sep\/24\/germany-and-france-call-for-europe-wide-deal-with-uk-on-migration\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/germany-and-france-call-for-europe-wide-deal-with-uk-on-migration\/\">Germany and France call for Europe-wide deal with UK on migration<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,561,1038,16218],"class_list":["post-133922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-france","tag-germany","tag-uk-migration"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133922\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
