At the end of February, the European Commission is expected to publish a new EU law on return of asylum claimants.
Is the European Union ready to set up return hubs outside its territory?
According to a document seen by Euronews, the European Commission and several Schengen member states are ready to propose so-called ‘return hubs’ in upcoming EU legislation.
Such ‘return hubs’ are centres outside the EU where rejected asylum seekers would be located before being returned to their country of origin.
The measure is considered controversial by many civil society organisations and NGOs citing negative impact on human rights.
Today Radio Schuman talks to Euronews’ reporter Vincenzo Genovese on the issue.
Radio Schuman also looks at how climate change puts the future of some European traditional drinks at risk.
Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
