Italy, Spain and three other countries from the southern European Union have criticized the proposed British Franco immigration deal, on the pretext that it may let them have to restore the people who have returned from the United Kingdom to the continent.

The five countries, which also include Greece, Malta and Cyprus, sent a message to the European Commission, which was seen at the Vinnashal Times times, and objects to France negotiating an arrangement to exchange asylum seekers with Britain in an attempt to deter migrants from crossing the channel in the boats.

“We note – with a degree of surprise – about France’s intention to sign the arrangement of bilateral acceptance,” says the letter.

“If confirmed, this initiative raises serious concerns for us, procedurally, and in terms of possible effects on other member states, especially those related to the first entry,” they wrote in the letter that was sent last week.

The exact conditions of the French French deal remain unclear, but the principle is to return irregular migrants to France while Britain accepted asylum seekers looking for resettlement. Such bans were at the first time in the European Union’s deportation deal with Türkiye to the boat crossings dating back to Greece.

A British official admitted that “the recent obstacles take longer than expected” because some European Union countries are “more than others.” French President Emmanuel Macron is scheduled to visit London on July 8.

As part of the “Re -Setting” agreement signed in May, the European Union and the United Kingdom pledged to work on “practical and innovative approach” to reduce irregular immigration. However, divisions within the European Union and UK demands prevented a broader agreement on immigration.

Instead, the United Kingdom has pushed bilateral agreements with European capitals on the most sensitive issue of “small boats”. In the year to March, 38,000 people crossed the canal in small ships, according to the government.

The Mediterranean Group has objected to France to negotiate the deal with the UK at the bilateral level, rather than being part of the “reset” deal in the European Union.

The five sites – often feel the port of invitation to people who make a risky trip to Europe from Africa – is concerned that this initiative means that France will use the rules of the European Union, to return asylum seekers to the country of the first entry, where the asylum demand must be addressed.

The two countries wrote: “We believe that it is necessary to clarify whether the agreement may produce any direct or indirect consequences on other member states,” the two countries wrote.

The message comes after UK Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer Request advice From the Prime Minister in Italy, Georgia Meloni, from curbing irregular migration.

One of the European Union officials said that there was a “very strong front on the European Union side that there was no cherry choice” in negotiations with the United Kingdom, and they were disappointed that the issue was exempted from this. “We would have preferred to be in the context of our joint negotiations.”

The allegation of the proposed asylum seeker between France and the United Kingdom reflects the 2016 agreement between the European Union and Turkey, as the bloc agreed to take a Syrian refugee from refugee camps in Turkey for every Syrian who returned by Greece, which is irregularly crossed by the border.

While there are a few actual bites, Tyip ardoğan in Türkiye has stopped the flow of Syrian refugees, as the European Union also agreed to pay 6 billion euros in immigration. This amount has since topped more than 12 billion euros.

The European Commission confirmed that it had received the message. A spokeswoman said: “We are in contact with the French authorities and the United Kingdom to ensure the necessary clarifications,” a spokeswoman said. “We are working with France and the United Kingdom, as well as the member states of the European Union to support solutions that are compatible with the spirit of the European Union and the European Union.”

The committee added that the increase in smuggling people through the channel was “worrying” and expanded a “strong response to deter dangerous trips.”
