Member States will be invited again on Wednesday 24 May to discuss the proposed draft on asylum and migration management regulations (AMMR) and on asylum border procedures (ABP) regulations.
On this occasion, EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson and the Swedish Presidency of the EU Council are expected to present numerical projections to assess different scenarios of migratory pressure and their translation into needs.
The last meeting, on 17 May, did not show a clear trend towards an agreement in June on these two mandates (see EUROPE 13182/9), according to two sources.
In the meantime, the Swedish Presidency is continuing the technical work and submitted a new text on the ABP on 17 May.
Minors
This text provides that, in certain circumstances, border procedures may be carried out within 16 weeks instead of 12, with all remedies available under national law.
A reference is also added to “that as a general rule minors should not be detained. Minors may only be detained in exceptional circumstances, as a measure of last resort and after it has been established that other less coercive measures cannot be applied effectively and after detention has been assessed to be in their best interests”.
