00:00The European Parliament will vote soon on a law aiming to increase returns of irregular migrants through controversial deportation centres
00:08outside the EU with detentions of up to two years.
00:12The Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs approved on Monday a version of the text supported by
00:21the centre-right, right-wing and far-right groups, breaking the traditional centrist majority.
00:27The Committee vote confirmed a trend of the European People's Party, EPP, siding with the right-wing European Conservatives on
00:35all files related to migration.
00:37The return regulation was proposed by the European Commission in March 2025 and endorsed by the Member States last December.
00:45The Parliament's text does not include a provision asked for by EU countries that would have allowed authorities to search
00:53the place of residence or, quote, other relevant places where a third country national subject to an expulsion order might
01:01be found.
01:02Left-side groups of the Parliament announced their opposition to the bill and civil rights campaigners are hoping to convince
01:09enough MEPs to reject the bill in the plenary.
