New EU Migrant Return Rules

The European Parliament is set to host a press conference featuring Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Malik Azmani, who will discuss the new regulatory reforms on the return of third-country nationals in the EU. The conference is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, 2026, from 13:30 to 14:00 CEST at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, specifically in the Daphne Caruana Galizia press conference room.

MEP Malik Azmani, representing the Renew party from the Netherlands, will address the media following the plenary vote on the proposed reforms. These reforms aim to establish a common system governing the return of individuals from third countries who lack the legal right to stay within the EU. The press event will be available for both in-person attendance by accredited media representatives and remote participation through the Interactio platform.

The press conference will be live-streamed, with recordings accessible on the Parliament’s Multimedia Centre. Interpretation services will be provided in multiple languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Dutch. This initiative follows the provisional agreement voted on by the Civil Liberties Committee on June 15, 2026. Further details on the procedure and background of these reforms can be accessed through the European Parliament’s official links provided in their press release.
