The CDU and CSU have settled ir dispute over a ceiling for refugees and, after about ten hours of negotiations on Sunday, agreed on a package for migration, immigration and refugee policy – without having clarified all detailed questions. Thus, leaders of both parties decided that net migration for humanitarian reasons should not exceed 200,000 people per year. The total sum is to be calculated from arriving and travelling persons, it is said in text adopted in evening in which word upper limit does not appear.
Change number "down or up"What is new is element that said figure no longer refers only to incoming refugees. It literally says in paper: "We want to achieve total number of recordings for humanitarian reasons (refugees and asylum seekers, subsidiary protected, family reunification, relocation and resettlement, less repatriation and voluntary leave Future refugees) does not exceed number of 200,000 people a year. " In addition, a clause has been agreed that federal government and Bundestag can make a new decision with which guideline "downward or above" can be changed. It also stresses that rules of asylum law continue to apply in Basic Law – so that no asylum seeker can be dismissed at German border.
To achieve this goal, re are several concrete steps to be taken. Among or things, this includes bringing all newly arrived asylum seekers into "decision-making and repatriation centres". The corresponding facilities in Bavarian cities of Manching and Bamberg as well as in Baden-Württemberg Heidelberg are used as a model. As is case, all asylum procedures are to be "bundled" in future in centres where asylum seekers must remain "until earliest possible decision of ir application". In event of a refusal, y should also be "returned" directly from se centres.
"Good day for Union"Or measures include fight against causes of escape, ' cooperation with countries of origin and transit in model of EU-Turkey agreement ', protection of EU's external borders and ' common implementation of asylum procedures across EU At external borders and common repatriations from re ". In addition, so-called Dublin system and common European Asylum System (CEAS) are to be reformed, Maghreb States of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia declare to be safe countries of origin, maintaining border controls for time being and suspending Continuation of family repayment for refugees with subsidiary protection. In addition, Union intends to launch a immigration law for skilled workers.
"Good day for union and Good day for Germany," said CSU Secretary-General Andreas Scheuer after concluding consultations. The limitation of refugees was "a good compromise, a good agreement, and according to our requirements," he later said in ZDF morning magazine. CSU regional group chief Alexander Dobrindt also commented "very satisfied". He resisted criticism of agreement – also from top of potential future Green coalition partner. "The Greens must finally return to reality," said Scheuer. "Loss of reality with open borders, anyone can come to us without rule, will not exist in a next coalition. And that's what Greens have to think about if y jump re. "
"Ball of Union in humanitarian asylum"Green boss Simone Peter had previously criticised agreement of Union parties and stressed that it contains "or points that we have clearly rejected so far", such as establishment of safe countries of origin and deportation facilities. "It cannot be that we will be plaything of Union in humanitarian asylum," she said. "We will not participate in disfranchisement programs." It was less sharply formulated by her party colleague Katrin Göring-Eckardt. The Bundestag group leader spoke in SWR of a "starting position" and a "formula compromise", which has to be looked at more closely. "Mr. Seehofer has got his 200,000, Frau Merkel has got that no one is dismissed at border," she said. But you're worried, "How to make a cut at 200,000."
The Refugee relief organization per asylum called rules "pure arbitrariness and refore gesetzwidrig". An upper limit is a violation of European Convention on Human Rights. "Human rights know no upper limit, no one may be rejected in a situation in which torture or inhumane treatment is threatened," argued managing director Günter Burkhardt. "This is a man-unworthy chesser in which face is presented to public at expense of vulnerable people."
