Sir Kerr Starmer and Emmanuel Macron in the final stages of agreement on the agreement to return migrants at the end of the French state visit on Thursday.

Senior British officials said the details and drafting of the agreement are still being ignored, including during the talks late at night on Wednesday, but both sides were heading towards a final agreement.

FT mentioned for the first time in March The discussions were taking place Between France and the United Kingdom on a “one in one, one” experimental scheme, hoping that the initiative will be expanded to a broader European Union program.

The deal is expected to include up to 50 immigrants per week sent from the United Kingdom to France, with a reward number in return if they have a legitimate right in Britain, according to the people who have been informed of the discussions.

This would be equivalent to about 1 out of 17 migrants currently coming to Britain on small boats.

France was ready to test such a scheme, despite its old preference for an arrangement at the European Union level, because it believes that the revenue agreement would respond to the deterrence of traders and migrants.

Negotiations on the deal were complicated by recovering from other European Union countries, and exactly exceeded the migrants in the agreement.

Italy, Spain, Greece, Malta and Cyprus sent a message to the European Commission last month that objects to a French -French deal on the basis that it may lead to the stability of more immigrants in the countries of the European Union, where they land first.

Emmanuel Libervido, a deputy of the ruling Brotherhood party at the Italian party at the Georgia Meloni administration, told the BBC on Wednesday that he was concerned that the deal would push more immigrants to southern Europe.

Macron and Starmer will hold bilateral talks on Thursday morning, and they will hold a joint press conference in the afternoon, when the details of the deal are expected to be determined.

In a public speech on Wednesday afternoon, Macron said that both countries would seek to address irregular immigration with “humanity, solidarity and fairness”, but also indicated “the treatment of immigration withdrawal factors” in the United Kingdom-a long-term argument by French officials.

More than 21,000 irregular migrants have crossed the UK on board small boats so far this year, which represents a record for the first six months of the year, according to official data.

Madeleine Sumbon, director of the Immigration Observatory at Oxford University, said on Thursday that the deterrent effect of the scheme will be determined by the number of people who were sent through the channel.

“If the majority of the people who are sent to France are more likely to know about it and believe this is something that can happen to them,” she told the BBC.

“Many of the reasons why people who come here are not easy to change policy,” Sumption noted that they already have family members here and that they only speak English.
