Negotiations are going really well, and we have come much closer to being able to establish a centre outside Europe. We can tell you more about it next week, says Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in connection with Thursday's EPC summit.

The work to create so-called "return hubs" is being done together with the Netherlands, Austria, Germany and Greece. The idea is to gather in camps outside the EU people who are to be expelled from the EU but who, for various reasons, cannot be sent to their home countries.

According to Dutch sources, the first camp is expected to be located in Rwanda, reports the Ritzau news agency.
