The next European Commission, expected to start in December, is focused on the challenge of irregular migration to the European Union (EU). Pressure from member states like Germany, which has imposed random border checks, has forced Brussels to act. The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, sent a letter to the Twenty-Seven on Monday night, opening the door to the creation of migrant detention centers outside the EU, a proposal born at the request of several European capitals.
In her letter, the German politician argues that the joint action of the EU 'has proven effective' in curbing irregular arrivals to the bloc and encourages the acceleration of the Migration and Asylum Pact. 'This way we will have the legal framework that will allow us to respond effectively to this challenge,' she highlights. The pact, whose negotiations concluded in June, will come into force in 2026. This, combined with the fact that the debates for its implementation will be in the hands of the presidency of the European Council, held until the end of the year by Hungary and then by Denmark - two countries not very interested in promoting this pact - raises fears that its implementation will be delayed more than necessary.
In this context, Von der Leyen is open to 'exploring innovative solutions' to curb irregular arrivals to the bloc and assures that the European Commission is committed to reviewing the concept of 'safe third countries' by next year. 'We must explore possible avenues regarding the idea of creating return centers outside the EU, especially in light of the new legislative proposal on returns.' She cites the 'Meloni model' of the Italian Prime Minister, who wants to create a detention center in Albania, as an example. 'With the start of the Italy-Albania protocol, we will be able to learn from this experience in practice,' Von der Leyen notes.
