On 23 September, the European Commission presented its much-awaited ‘New Pact on Migration and Asylum’ which outlines the objectives for EU policies in the area of asylum and migration over the next five years. The proposal provides for a comprehensive common European framework for migration and asylum management, including several legislative proposals. Nadia Petroni argues the proposed measures will not help alleviate migration pressure on the EU’s southern member states. The system potentially overburdens the Member States at the EU’s periphery. So far, a gap still persists between rhetoric and reality in implementing proper procedures to protect human rights, such as a lack of independent oversight  (Crépeau 2013). The UK has challenged its legal exclusion from three EU border measures with a security dimension: the creation of Frontex (the EU’s external border agency discussed below); EU measures on biometric passports and the decision allowing police services access to data in the EU Visa Information System.

This policy primer examines the UK’s selective participation in the Common European Asylum System, and EU immigration law. Prior to the Treaty of Amsterdam (1999), the EU set up the Dublin system for allocation of responsibility for processing asylum claims, and adopted several non-binding resolutions on asylum matters. The asylum pact (officially called the "New Pact on Migration and Asylum") is meant to reform the EU's overburdened and fragmented asylum system.

We're not going to be forced into the EU's Common Asylum Policy" Nigel Farage, 20 May 2015 Although the UK was included in earlier EU moves towards a more consistent approach to granting asylum—basically, allowing people to stay in the UK if deporting them would put them at serious risk—we have opted out of more recent changes to this Common European Asylum System. Johansson highlighted the commission’s actions, working with Athens, to reduce the number of refugees and migrants on the Greek islands, saying the population of Moria had been reduced by almost half in six months: “We were not sitting on our butt to wait for this to happen.”. 58 Banbury Road, The UK has opted in to the Dublin III Regulation, which purports to address some of the problems outlined above. The EU requires a common asylum system to ensure migrants remain in nations which are seen as less generous. The UK opted in to the main post-Amsterdam asylum directives (the ‘first phase’), namely the Temporary Protection Directive, and those on asylum procedures, qualification and reception conditions adopted between 2000 and 2005. EU countries agreed to standardise asylum policy at a summit in Tampere, Finland in 1999, but the practice varies widely between EU member states. Interception is but one of the many tools used to prevent or deter the arrival of asylum seekers (see our the Migration Observatory policy primer on Asylum Policy). Asked whether Moria – long notorious for overcrowded, filthy conditions – was a result of the commission’s past actions, she said: “Migrant camps on Greek soil are primarily the responsibility of the Greek government.”, She added: “The failure [of] the previous commission to actually reach a common European migration and asylum policy is also part of the problem.”, Speaking to the Guardian and other European newspapers, Johansson said: “We sometimes say that Europe does not have a migration crisis, and we don’t have that right now. Amongst other criteria, TCNs require a minimum income, language skills and knowledge of life in the UK. Complications will stem from the UK’s involvement in the EU’s international protection and asylum governance structures, known as the Common European Asylum System (CEAS).

Tony Blair famously characterised the UK’s selective participation as giving it ‘the best of both worlds’ as the UK was not obliged to take on EU commitments in the asylum and immigration context but could opt in to measures in order to “make sure that there are proper restrictions on some of the European borders that end up affecting our country.” (Tony Blair 25 October 2004, quoted in Geddes 2005). The Common European Asylum System (CEAS) is a legal and policy framework developed to guarantee harmonised and uniform standards for people seeking international protection in the EU. Section 5 examines immigration of so-called ‘Third Country Nationals’ (TCNs), from outside into the EU, where the EU is also competent to develop a common immigration policy. A similar case is currently pending before the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg (Tarakhel v Switzerland App No 29217/12). Push-backs of migrants often entail breach of the international and EU legal obligation of non-refoulement, which forbids the return of any individuals claiming asylum to a place where they are likely to face persecution serious harm, including torture or inhuman or degrading treatment (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights and Council of Europe 2013). EUROSUR will utilise new surveillance technologies such as drones and high-resolution cameras, and will function as  “a system of systems,” coordinating national surveillance systems through Frontex. The UK and Ireland are not in EUROSUR but have Regional Cooperation agreements, although Prior to the Treaty of Amsterdam (1999), the EU set up the Dublin system for allocation of responsibility for processing asylum claims, and adopted several non-binding resolutions on asylum matters. The government expressed ‘grave concerns’ about allowing asylum seekers to work after six months in the absence of a decision (nine in the final adopted version); restrictions on the ability to detain asylum seekers in exceptional circumstances; and limits to fast-track procedures. The UK (with Ireland) has an option to participate in this policy area, and chose to opt in to the first phase of EU asylum measures adopted between 1999 and 2004. However, that policy “shall not affect the right of Member States to determine volumes of admission of third-country nationals coming from third countries to their territory in order to seek work, whether employed or self-employed”.

Fifty-nine percent of the survey’s respondents supported reconfiguring the bloc's Common European Asylum System to “prevent asylum seekers from entering the EU illegally … Johansson declined to confirm whether that meant a legally binding obligation on EU countries to take in refugees – an idea behind some of Europe’s most bitter divisions.

These mainly involved how asylum seekers are treated and how their applications are processed, as well as laws setting out which EU country is responsible for processing an asylum seeker’s claim (the “Dublin system”).
