Subject
Asylum policies.
Significance
Under pressure from Germany (and above all Bavaria), the EU recently agreed a five-point plan for asylum policies. The plan is chiefly about asylum processing: preventing asylum seekers from absconding; more effectively deporting failed applicants; preventing secondary asylum movements (that is, asylum seekers registered in one EU country moving to another); and better burden-sharing across Europe.
Impacts
Developing countries in the Southern Hemisphere lack the capacity to handle the scale of migration.
Economic pressures in the EU will complicate aid prospects.
Fair burden-sharing within the EU will prove elusive.
