Germany plans to declare Georgia, Moldova safe countries to ease deportation of citizens

The German Government has plans to declare Georgia and Moldova safe countries, making it easier to deport their citizens after being denied asylum, DW reported on Wednesday, adding  the federal Government was expected to support a related bill proposed by Interior Minister Nancy Fezer. 

 

In an interview with media group Funke, Fezer said almost every tenth of the asylum seekers in Germany came from Georgia and Moldova, and granting the safe country status to the states would contribute to the “rapid and effective reduction” of illegal migration. 

 

She added Georgia and Moldova wanted to join the European Union, and in such countries the prosecution on political grounds was not a common issue, adding her Government also planned to sign migration-related agreements with both states, which would ensure educational and working opportunities to the citizens from the countries. 

 

DW reported in the first half of 2023, Germany rejected only 0.1% of asylum applications from Georgia and Moldova.

 

After giving Georgia and Moldova the status of a safe country, Germany will be able to speed up the process of processing applications and deport those who will not be granted asylum.
