The Proposal seeks to increase the EU’s return rate, which has not exceeded 20% in recent years. In 2024, out of 453,380 individuals ordered to leave the EU, only 110,385 returned to their countries of origin. The Proposal legalises the possibility of sending migrants to return hubs located in third countries outside of the EU. This entrenches their marginalisation, whilst eroding migrants’ human rights protections.
