New EU plan to toughen asylum rules by Guardian reader Friday August 08, 2003 at 03:46 PM |
"Failed asylum seekers will be deported by bus, train, and ummarked police cars, until they are "finally removed" from the EU under a plan drawn up by European officials."
"They would be "escorted" out of the EU in an attempt to "terminate the illegal residence of third country nationals", according to the hitherto secret proposal. Any "legitimate measure" would be used to prevent them escaping."
"Under the proposed EU directive, "third country nationals who are the subject of removal orders" would be escorted by guards throughout their journey across member states. They would be deposited when they reached their country of origin or the last "safe" non-EU country they had passed through."
