The EU has not yet agreed on a deal to deport migrants.

On May 21, the European Parliament announced that lawmakers and member states of the European Union (EU) had failed to reach an agreement on a migration reform plan aimed at establishing "deportation centers" outside the bloc.

Accordingly, the next round of negotiations on this issue is expected to be held in June.

EU member states and parliamentarians have agreed on the core content of the plan to tighten migration regulations, aiming to improve the repatriation system and accelerate the deportation of illegal immigrants.

However, disagreements over the implementation roadmap prevented the two sides from reaching a final agreement on the implementation of the reform package. In a statement, the European Parliament stated that the parties had thoroughly discussed and tentatively agreed on all outstanding political issues, except for Article 52 concerning the start date of application.

According to the Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Europe, if the plan is approved, the EU will apply stricter regulations to those deemed a security threat, along with the possibility of detention and long-term entry bans.

This plan also includes penalties for those who do not cooperate and grants law enforcement the power to search homes.

The bill would also give countries the option of sending those who have received deportation orders from EU territory to "deportation centers" located outside the bloc. Migration ministers have called this an "innovative solution" to the union's migration challenges.

Germany and the Netherlands want to have plans for building these centers ready by the end of 2026. Italy has previously built centers in Albania to process and deport rejected asylum seekers, although Rome's plans are still bogged down in legal complications.

Supporters of the plan argue that for an effective immigration system to function, it is necessary to deport those who do not have the right to reside in the bloc.

Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner stated: "The new rules will give us tighter control over who can enter the EU, who is allowed to stay, and who is forced to leave. This is what EU citizens expect and this is what we must do."

However, non -governmental organizations (NGOs) warn that these centers risk becoming lawless offshore detention camps.

Imogen Sudbery, Executive Director of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) NGO in Belgium, stated that the lack of detail regarding the location of these centers and who will oversee them "risks paving the way for abuses of power, human rights violations, and even further chaos at Europe's borders."

According to figures cited by the European Commission, the actual percentage of asylum seekers whose applications have been rejected and who have left the EU is now only around 20%, lower than the 25% recently reported by the European Statistical Agency (Eurostat).

If the plan is approved, the document will still require formal ratification from both the Council and the Parliament of the EU.
