EU leaders’ summit discussion on migration issues ended without an agreement. The leaders of the 27 failed to break the deadlock on the conclusions of the summit. EU countries will not present a joint conclusion. There will only be a statement from the chairman The reason is the lack of consent of Poland and Hungary to the general provisions on migration.
Joint application of the EU on migrants, blocked by Poland and Hungary
Poland proposed an amendment regarding voluntary and unanimity in migration matters. However, it was rejected, they only supported it . The proposed amendment assumed that the document should include a reference to the findings of the previous summits, including those from 2018, regarding the principle of unanimity and voluntariness in politics . However, the other countries did not agree to this.
Morawiecki: It has nothing to do with human rights
“Some countries wanted to move away from these 2018 conclusions,” he said on Friday morning. Poland stands by its position and does not agree to the forced sending of migrants to EU countries as part of relocation. He focuses on voluntariness and this is what the prime minister wanted to add to the conclusions of this meeting. “What did I hear on the other side? That it cannot be entered. Well, if it cannot be entered, it means that part of the European Council would like it to be a compulsory process, not a voluntary one,” said the head of the government. “The green light for uncontrolled migration has nothing to do with protecting human rights. On the contrary – it serves human rights violations, increases suffering, increases crime in Europe and indirectly supports smuggling groups” – he wrote on .
This is how Poland interprets the migration pact tentatively agreed a few weeks ago by the member states. Thinks it de facto assumes forced relocation, because it gives countries a choice of either accepting migrants or paying a fee of EUR 20,000 for each person not admitted. There will be no conclusions from the EU summit on Friday, but work on the migration pact will continue. Now it will be negotiated by EU countries and Its final shape will depend on the outcome of these negotiations.
