The British government, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, wants to significantly tighten asylum laws. The European Commission insists that the proposed regulations are in line with international law. EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson made the request to her British counterpart, Suella Braverman.
“My immediate reaction: I wonder if it’s in compliance with international obligations. She assured me it would be. So let’s hope she’s right, we’ll have to look at it a little more closely,” Johansen said.
France, in particular, is watching the decisions made in London very closely because of their shared situation in the English Channel and their cooperation in preventing unauthorized crossings of the strait.
Regarding this, French Interior Minister Gérald Dormanin said: This should not have any negative impact on our bilateral relations. I am sure we will find constructive ways to deal with the consequences of their legislation.
And his Austrian counterpart, Gerhard Garner, says: “The debate in Great Britain shows that the pressure on Europe is increasing in terms of illegal migration and asylum abuse. We need to focus on our problems in Europe.”

According to the British government, anyone who enters Great Britain illegally can no longer apply for asylum and must be deported within weeks. According to Prime Minister Sunagh, more than 45,000 people crossed the Channel to Britain without permission last year.
