Signing of the EU-Turkey Agreement, with the main task of containing the migration flaw from Turkey towards Greece, and Europe, has sparked many disputes. Defenders and opponents of the agreement have spent many emotional words to convince others in their standpoints. In short, the defenders of the Agreement try to convince the others the Agreement is the only way how the EU can be saved from unstoppable current of migrants coming from the Middle East and other parts of Asia and Africa ravaged by the wars, political and economic disturbances. How desperate they are is best show by their readiness to sign the agreement with a politician who would never pass the test of the Copenhagen criteria. On the other side, the opponents of the Agreement have elaborated their reasons more broadly. Various groups and individuals have been attacking the Agreement from pure legal and human rights reasons, some think it is "perverse" to deal in that way with so...

The EU-Turkey migration deal has been thrown further into chaos after an independent authority examining appeals claims in Greece ruled against sending a Syrian refugee back to Turkey , potentially creating a precedent for thousands of other similar cases. In a landmark case, the appeals committee upheld the appeal of an asylum seeker who had been one of the first Syrians listed for deportation under the terms of the EU-Turkey deal . In a document seen by the Guardian, a three-person appeals tribunal in Lesbos said Turkey would not give Syrian refugees the rights they were owed under international treaties and therefore overturned the applicant’s deportation order by a verdict of two to one. The case will now be re-assessed from scratch. The committee’s conclusion stated: “The committee has judged that the temporary protection which could be offered by Turkey to the applicant, as a Syrian citizen, does not offer him rights equivalent to those required by the Geneva ...

Symposium Turkey has been a candidate to join the EU since 1999 and negotiating accession to the Union since 2005. Relations have been re-energized recently over the refugee deal. The seminar will host speakers from academia and civil society with extensive expertise on EU and Turkey relations. The aim of the seminar, jointly organized by IKV - Economic Development Foundation Turkey and ACELG, is to contribute to debates about the current state of Turkey’s EU perspective. Attendance is free, registration is required. Background and aim The negotiations on Turkey's accession to the European Union have still not been concluded due to problems related to the Cyprus conflict, the EU’s enlargement fatigue and slowdown of EU-induced reforms in Turkey. Relations have been re-energized recently over the refugee deal agreed between the two sides which concern the readmission of irregular migrants by Turkey and increased EU assistance for Syrian refugees residing in...

Originally posted here: http://eulawanalysis.blogspot.nl/2016/04/the-dutch-referendum-on-euukraine.html Dr. Maja Brkan and Alexander Hoogenboom On 6 April 2016, the Dutch voters – not surprisingly according to the recent polls – rejected the EU-Ukraine association agreement with 61.1 percent of votes against. While the voters came just above the 30 percent threshold, the result itself seems to be quite a convincing “nee”. The EU has so far concluded numerous association agreements with other countries, for example with Algeria , Tunisia , Morocco , Israel , Egypt , Chile and, most recently , Kosovo . So why was the referendum organised exactly regarding Ukraine? Summer fun? The reason is both banal and worrying. The so-called ‘Citizen’s Committee-EU’ (Burgercomité EU), which was behind the initiative, publicly and boldly stated prior to the vote that they ‘ did not care about the Ukraine ’: the referendum was meant solely to weaken the EU, as well as ...

Authorities in Greece are struggling to put in place infrastructure to implement the deal signed by EU leaders and Turkey in Brussels to stem the flow of migrants. From today, all "irregular migrants" who arrive in Greece will be sent back to Turkey. However the process of the 'turn-backs', as they are known, will not actually begin for several weeks at least. Speaking to Sky News, an official from the Greek government's crisis management office said the challenges were huge. "If we had to do it today, we wouldn't be able to do it. There are things that have to be done before we are ready to implement a deal like this," Giorgos Kyritsis said. "We are talking days in terms of the legal procedures. We have to make many legislation arrangements and then we have to make the infrastructure and that is a matter of weeks, not months." Under the turn-back deal signed in Brussels on Friday, Turkey agreed to take back all irr...

 (citation)  "Referring to the deal with the EU, Gerry Simpson, a senior refugee researcher with HRW, said: “[It] risks encouraging Turkey to illegally push back more Syrian asylum seekers and may fuel police abuses to prevent refugees from reaching Greece and Bulgaria.” He told IRIN that a condition of Turkey receiving EU money should be that it reopens its borders to Syrian asylum seekers. At the same time, “Europe should help the region cope with refugee numbers by letting people claim asylum at Turkey’s land borders with Greece and Bulgaria and by increasing the number of Syrian refugees resettled from the Middle East to the EU.” Rebecca Bryant, an anthropologist at the London School of Economics and an expert on displacement in the eastern Mediterranean, commented that while aspects of the final plan were positive, such as helping refugees in Turkey become more self-sufficient, funding education initiatives for refugee children, and supporting host commu...
