S&Ds determined to strengthen monitoring mechanism to stop pushbacks at EU borders

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

As part of broader asylum reform in the Pact on Migration and Asylum, the Commission last year proposed rules for a new screening procedure for people entering the EU irregularly.
 

S&Ds on migration crisis regulation: “The days are over when solidarity is the exception and not the rule”

S&D - Socialists and Democrats

The S&D Group is laying the groundwork for a solidarity-based response system in the EU’s common and asylum policy when faced with crisis situations.

Yet, the S&D Group is convinced this positive trend should come hand in hand with efforts on both European and national levels for making renewable energy affordable to citizens.
