欧洲理事会周四最终批准了新规则,旨在加强将无合法居留权利的非欧盟国民遣返回国的力度。
The European Council on Thursday gave final approval to new rules aimed at strengthening the return of non-EU nationals who have no legal right to stay in the bloc.
根据欧盟声明,这些规则是对欧盟《移民和庇护公约》的补充,包括允许成员国在第三国设立遣返中心。
The rules, which complement the EU's Pact on Migration and Asylum, include allowing member states to establish return hubs in third countries, according to an EU statement.
这些规则概述了遣返程序,以及针对被认为构成安全风险的人员的额外措施。
They outline procedures for returns and additional measures for people considered to pose a security risk.
根据新框架,受到遣返决定的非欧盟国民将被要求离开相关成员国,并与国家当局合作。
Under the new framework, non-EU nationals subject to a return decision will be required to leave the member state concerned and cooperate with national authorities.
不遵守规定可能导致制裁,包括根据国内法减少福利和津贴、取消自愿遣返的激励措施、经济处罚,或在国家立法规定的情况下实施刑事处罚。
Failure to comply could result in sanctions, including reduced benefits and allowances granted under national law, the loss of incentives for voluntary return, financial penalties or criminal sanctions where provided for under national legislation.
该立法还引入了欧洲遣返令,其中包含国家遣返决定的关键要素,旨在促进其他欧盟成员国当局的承认。遣返决定的相互承认最初仍将是自愿的。
The legislation also introduces a European Return Order, which will contain key elements of national return decisions and is intended to facilitate their recognition by authorities in other EU member states. Mutual recognition of return decisions will initially remain voluntary.
该制度将在规则生效三年后进行审查,之后欧洲委员会可能会提出立法,使承认成为强制性要求。新规则为被认为构成安全风险的非欧盟国民提供了额外措施。
The system will be reviewed three years after the rules enter into force, after which the European Commission may propose legislation to make recognition mandatory. The new rules provide additional measures for non-EU nationals considered a security risk.
如果与所构成的安全风险相称且合理,成员国可以实施无限期入境禁令。他们还可以根据条例规定的条件,将此类人员拘留超过24个月。
Member states may impose an indefinite entry ban where it is justified and proportionate to the security risk posed. They may also detain such individuals for longer than 24 months under the conditions established by the regulation.
该立法还允许成员国将受到遣返决定的人员转移到非欧盟国家的遣返中心。此类安排需要与相关第三国达成协议或安排。
The legislation also allows member states to transfer people subject to return decisions to return hubs in non-EU countries. Such arrangements will require an agreement or arrangement with the third country concerned.
欧盟表示,这些协议只能与尊重国际人权标准和国际法、包括不遣返原则的国家达成。无人陪伴的未成年人不纳入此类遣返中心安排。
The EU said these agreements may only be concluded with countries that respect international human rights standards and international law, including the principle of non-refoulement. Unaccompanied minors are excluded from such return hub arrangements.
