Commission welcomes political agreement on the Return Regulation
The European Commission welcomes the political agreement between the European Parliament and the Council on the Regulation establishing a new Common European System for Returns. Proposed by the Commission in March 2025, the new rules on returns are a key deliverable under this Commission's political guidelines and the European Asylum and Migration Management Strategy. It is a core element of the EU's comprehensive approach on migration, complementing the Pact on Migration and Asylum.
The Return Regulation will give member states the tools necessary to make returns more efficient, with swifter, simpler and more effective procedures across the European Union, in full respect of fundamental rights.
The new common rules include a truly European system in the form of a Regulation, mutual Recognition of return decisions, stronger rules on forced return, stricter rules against absconding, stronger rules for people posing a security risk, the possibility to set up return hubs in third countries, and strong safeguards throughout the entire return process.
More information is available in the press release.
