Written question – Instrumentalisation of migration omitted in the Commission’s proposal on preventing and countering the facilitation of unauthorised entry to the Union – E-002542/2025

Question for written answer  E-002542/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Mariusz Kamiński (ECR)

In its proposal for a directive laying down minimum rules to prevent and counter the facilitation of unauthorised entry, transit and stay in the Union[1], the Commission has neglected to address the instrumentalisation of migration.

I raised this issue by submitting amendments as part of Parliament’s legislative process[2]. I also highlighted several other significant shortcomings of the Commission’s proposal.

• 1.Why has the Commission neglected to mention the instrumentalisation of migration in its proposal?
• 2.Is the Commission aware of the amendments put forward by Parliament that remedy significant gaps in the proposal, and does it consider a broader and more substantial approach to the directive’s subject matter to be necessary?
