EU to Penalize Non-Cooperative Countries on Migration by Restricting Visas
The European Union will soon start penalizing countries that refuse to cooperate on the readmission of irregular migrants, through visa restrictions.
Last week, the Council of the European Union adopted the proposed amendments to the visa code regulation, which among other foresee the creation of a mechanism that will improve cooperation with third countries on readmission through a new mechanism that uses visa processing as leverage.
According to a press release of the EU Council, the Commission will regularly assess third countries’ cooperation on readmission.
