Outsourcing EU asylum policy
Shownotes
In April a fundamental reform of the "Common European Asylum System" was adopted by the European Parliament. The core elements of the reform are asylum procedures to be carried out as quickly and "efficiently" as possible directly at the external borders, so that asylum seekers can be deported to their countries of origin and to so-called "safe third countries". Especially if they come from countries with a low chance of being accepted. The EU-Turkey deal of 18 March 2016 can be seen as a prototype for this third country regulation. Sybille Straubinger talks with Neva Öztürk, a Turkish lawyer and assistant professor at the Faculty of Law at Ankara University, about the effects of the EU-Turkey deal and the outsourcing of asylum policy.
