"Question No 4 by Jonas Sjöstedt ():
The French Presidency has proposed in Council that carrier's liability be increased. This would mean that a carrier, for example an airline, would be penalised if it brought persons without valid visa or identity papers into the EU. In many Member States carrier's liability requires the carrier to arrange or pay for immediate return of the persons concerned, combined in some countries with fines. The Presidency now wishes to introduce mandatory fines. Carrier's liability is an effective method of preventing asylum seekers from reaching the EU. Many refugees with grounds for seeking asylum cannot obtain the passports or visas required for entry into the EU. Carrier's liability means that their requests for asylum cannot be examined in the EU. Instead they are dealt with by airline, airport and other transport staff. Does the Council consider that the latter are competent in practice to decide the future of asylum seekers?"@en1
