EU leaders are pushing for quicker ways to deport people amid a broader push to crack down on immigration, according to a draft report obtained by POLITICO.
The leaders plan to press the bloc’s executive arm, the European Commission, to come up with new guidelines on deportations when they meet in Brussels on Oct. 17, the draft report of their conclusions reads.
“The European Council calls for determined action at all levels to increase and speed up returns from the European Union,” the draft obtained by POLITICO reads. “It invites the Commission and Council to swiftly put forward a new common approach on returns.”
