“Sir Keir Starmer has been seeking to restore a pre-Brexit security deal with the EU in order to smash people-smuggling gangs - but is powerless at present to turn those who make small boat crossings around and send them back to France.
This is because, as part of the Brexit deal agreed by previous Tory governments, the UK left the Dublin Regulation that allows Ireland to send migrants back to the first EU state they arrived in as they made their journey from their point of origin.”
This is misleading in the extreme. In more recent years the Dublin Agreement was of little advantage to the UK and in the last years that the UK was a signatory it facilitated far more migrants being sent to the UK than were sent out of the UK to elsewhere.
In 2016 and 2017 there were a total of 676 returns of asylum seekers from the UK to other European countries but 1,019 asylum seekers were transferred to the UK from elsewhere. In 2018 the Dublin Regulation inflow to the UK was nearly six times the outflow. There were 1,215 transfers into the UK with the majority (946) of these transfers coming from Greece. There were just 209 transfers out of the UK under the Dublin Regulation. A quarter of these (51) were transfers to France.
Pro-EU politicians misled the public into believing that the Dublin Agreement was a simple arrangement where those arriving here illegally could be easily and swiftly returned whence they came. It was nothing of the sort. It was a typical EU construction, mired in bureaucracy and regulation. It never allowed any country to simply return illegal arrivals anywhere. To illustrate this, in 2017 the UK made 5,712 applications to transfer migrants out under Dublin but only 314 were permitted.
Originally the UK sought to remain in the Dublin scheme after Brexit. Fortunately the EU negotiating team wouldn’t hear of it. If Mr Starmer seeks to sign the UK up to something similar he is dopier than even I though he was.
Just a point of correction, ymb – the correct term is “Aris”. Aris is short for Aristotle; Aristotle rhymes with “bottle”; Bottle is short for “Bottle & Glass…which rhymes with ???
That’s obviously why naomi was so confused! 🤣
