Five EU states plan transfers of rejected asylum seekers
Five EU countries — Denmark, Austria, Germany, Greece and the Netherlands — are preparing a scheme to transfer rejected asylum seekers to non-EU states, aiming to run a pilot in the first half of 2027 with Rwanda, Uganda and Uzbekistan discussed as possible hosts. The plan accompanies new EU returns legislation approved by the European Parliament and the Pact on Migration and Asylum, and would require formal agreements, individual return decisions, legal safeguards and independent monitoring. The initiative is meant to raise effective return rates but must secure host-state arrangements and monitoring before wider implementation later in 2027.
