00:00EU states will be able to send asylum seekers to countries they have no link with,
00:06as the UK has tried to do with Rwanda in the past.
00:09The legislative tweak was approved Tuesday at the European Parliament,
00:13with 396 votes in favour, 226 votes against and 30 abstentions.
00:20The change in the safe third country concept paves the way to agreements
00:25between EU states and foreign governments,
00:27which would receive money for accepting migrants from Europe.
00:31So what we are doing with the two files is giving member states the flexibility they urgently need at hand
00:37to assess asylum claims in a fast, in an efficient,
00:41and in a way that helps alleviating the pressure from national capacities.
00:47Asylum seekers can be transferred to virtually any country in the world,
00:51provided it is considered safe.
00:53Safeguards include protection from persecution and the respect of non-refulment.
00:58Social Democrats, Liberals and Greens oppose the legislative change.
01:03You are not able to raise the walls, but you have done worse.
01:05You are using the laws as a wall.
01:08Today you vote for destroying asylum rights in Europe.
01:10The provision will not be applied to unaccompanied minors,
01:14whose asylum applications will still have to be assessed in European countries.
01:18So here we are.
01:19I stand.
01:20Feel free to vote.
01:24I am so happy to have the opportunity.
01:25Tell us, guys.
01:25You are the hardest.
01:26All great.
01:27You.
01:28All great.
01:28I uh.
01:29Let me together.

01:42I'm getting me together.
01:43Julie.
01:43I Shit.
01:44I wonder why wireless
01:45I still didn't like it, but because I will lay it to the
01:47way right.
01:47You can hear it.
