Germany, Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands and Greece have agreed on a joint model for return hubs outside the EU, with the first transfers targeted for 2027.<\/p>\n

The proposed hubs would accommodate migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected but who cannot be returned to their countries of origin.<\/p>\n

That is the gap at the heart of Europe\u2019s migration crisis:<\/p>\n

Rejected. Unable to be returned. Yet still remaining in Europe.<\/p>\n

European governments have struggled for years to resolve this problem, while deportation systems remain constrained by legal, logistical and diplomatic obstacles.<\/p>\n

Potential partner countries have not been officially named, although Uganda and Rwanda have been mentioned as possibilities.<\/p>\n

Italy\u2019s arrangement with Albania has already demonstrated just how complicated the practical and legal implementation of such schemes can be.<\/p>\n

Europe is now looking for a system that can actually make returns work.<\/p>\n
