@Giannista How else? Have a look at our Q&As and our statistics https://t.co/hD69PuvUgw. Other countries have similar procedures.

@Giannista That is precisely the reason while all countries have asylum authorities. Their job is to determine who is a refugee and who not.

@Giannista I agree with you. Those who cannot return should not be forced to return but granted protection.

@mpodil to protect refugees, those safe where they come from should return. Returns are important for the integrity of the asylum system.

This is the first time such a meeting takes place in 25 years. The joint announcement issued makes good sense too. https://t.co/o4j7gVc21B

Some good ideas here: reform Dublin, @easo to become an asylum agency etc. https://t.co/FCrAYkzy6a
