#EU #SafeCountryDesignation
Brussels: The European Union (EU) has announced today its intention to include seven countries in the ‘safe country’ list and tighten immigration rules. The European Commission has identified Kosovo, Bangladesh, Colombia, Egypt, India, Morocco, and Tunisia as countries that will be designated as safe for migration purposes.
This move is expected to have significant implications for immigration policies within the EU, as it will likely result in stricter regulations for asylum seekers and migrants from these countries. The decision to designate a country as ‘safe’ is based on various factors such as the country’s respect for human rights, stability, and the rule of law.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his opinion on this development, stating that while the EU’s initiative may aim to streamline immigration processes and enhance security measures, it is crucial to ensure that the rights and well-being of migrants are protected throughout the process. Khatri emphasized the importance of upholding international standards of human rights and providing support to those in need of protection, regardless of their country of origin.
