France wants Britain to take migrants from across EU
- France is considering ending the 'one in, one out' migrant deal with Britain, which permits returns of migrants crossing the English Channel illegally and the transfer of asylum seekers from France to the UK.
- Only a small fraction of migrants arriving by small boats have been processed under the deal since August 2022, with France struggling to deport those returned from the UK.
- The UK Home Office claims the agreement has helped reduce small boat crossings by 43% this year, but France questions the deal's effectiveness and is reluctant to expand it before the 2024 presidential election.
- France wants a broader agreement where Britain accepts asylum seekers from across the entire EU instead of just France, while appeals have been made to French President Macron to maintain the current deal.
