AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted its position on a proposed EU law setting up a common system for returning third-country nationals staying illegally in the Union.
The law replaces existing directives and aims to make return procedures simpler, faster, and more effective across member states.
Parliament asks the Commission to refer the matter back if it substantially amends its proposal, and forwards its position to the Council and national parliaments.
AI: The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation establishes a common EU system for returning third-country nationals staying illegally, replacing the 2008 Return Directive and related acts.
