  • This month, capitals sought to scale pilots into funded programmes after interior ministers from the 27-member bloc approved return hubs and the Commission's proposed new return rules.
  • They pointed explicitly to NDICI‑Global Europe as a funding instrument, stressed legal consistency with development objectives, and invited EU agencies and the European Commission to support and propose legislative changes.
