Brussels, my love? Migrant return hubs - solution or scandal?
We are joined this week by Liza Bezvershenko from civil society organisation Promote Ukraine, Helena Hahn, migration analyst with the European Policy Centre and Vassilis Ntousas, senior manager for Europe at the German Marshall Fund.
Panellists discussed the idea of return hubs, which would see the EU outsource parts of its migration policy to countries outside the bloc — one of the main outcomes of a European summit held in Brussels last week.
"It's not trivial but this is a topic that is being discussed," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said of the plans, which would cover asylum seekers whose applications were rejected and aren't entitled to stay in the EU.
"I see a lot of political noise but no real answers", Helena Hahn told the panel.
