Despite the rapporteur’s concerns, which include the fact that these appropriations cannot be used to fund repatriation policies – specifically to pay for charter flights that return ‘illegal’ immigrants to their country of origin –, as well as the introduction of amendments seeking to minimise the negative effects of the regulation, the fact is that this regulation is intended to ‘encourage the signing of readmission agreements’ with third countries.
As a matter of fact, as the rapporteur points out:
‘Clearly, the Commission's intention is to create an instrument to compensate third countries for signing readmission agreements’;
‘The promise of financial aid and support may provide an incentive for third countries to sign agreements and make them acceptable to public opinion’, and adds, ‘even though, at present, the sums of money which third countries receive from their immigrants in the Union are much greater than all the aid received from the EU's financial support programmes’.
In other words, this is another instrument designed to support the EU’s immigration policy, which gives priority to a repressive mindset, attempting, in this case, to guarantee financial compensation for the countries of origin of ‘illegal’ immigrants for signing readmission agreements."@en1
