The government pressed earlier this year on the EU to get the return to Syria going. Now it's time for the next country.
We must find solutions to get the forced return to start working. If you have come to Sweden and committed a crime, you should be deported, says Minister for Migration Johan Forssell (The Moderate Party) who raises the issue at an EU meeting in Luxembourg on Tuesday.
The EU had a readmission agreement with Afghanistan until the Taliban's return to power in 2021. Now Forssell hopes for, for example, joint EU charter planes to get rid of the increasing number of Afghans who are not considered to have grounds for asylum in Europe.
The meeting also discusses updated EU rules on how the return should be carried out for persons without the right to stay. There is disagreement about whether it should be mandatory or voluntary to recognize other EU countries' deportation decisions.
