Question 22955 — European Union

Summary

Mr. Hugues Renson questions the Minister of the Interior on the implementation of a systematic and lasting solidarity mechanism for the reception of refugees and migrants at sea. Indeed, humanitarian ships are regularly blocked at sea because they do not obtain authorization to disembark in a safe port. Authorizations are given on a case-by-case basis, after a possible agreement between different European countries. These long delays put life and the safety of the men, women and children present on these endangered ships. The recent actions of the previous populist Italian government, having adopted a "security decree" toughening sanctions against rescue ships at sea, and the obstacles created by the Dublin III regulation, which places the entire burden of welcoming and caring for refugees on the countries of entry, have made and still make these uncertain and dangerous rescue operations. Thus, given the international obligations regarding the rescue of people at sea and the need for harmonized management of legal migration and asylum in the European Union, he asks what actions the Government intends to take in order to obtain an agreement with its European partners for a rapid, systematic, effective and humanist solidarity mechanism allowing a dignified reception of people in need of protection rescued at sea.
