Summary
19 EU member states have signed an open letter backing the establishment of return hubs (offshore deportation centres) for rejected asylum seekers. The letter was published during an EU summit in Brussels, signed by countries including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Sweden, among others. The initiative has gained significant support in the EU Parliament and is being pushed forward by most European leaders at the council summit, though not all member states are on board.
