Asylum Rights: Welcome, you’ve just been Dublined
18 January 20111581 Le Monde Paris
For young Europeans from crisis stricken states, booming Australia has become a new land of opportunity. This is especially true for a new generation of Greek graduates, joining the largest expatriate Greek community in the world. 
Macedonians, Moldavians and Ukrainians are jostling to obtain a Bulgarian passport. Many plan to leave for other countries in the European Union, but first they must confront the Bulgarian administration. 
Twenty-five refugees have just suffocated in the engine room of a boat bound for Italy. Their deaths are not merely another episode in the decades-old refugee crisis along Europe's southern coasts, but are part of the European strategy for deterring asylum-seekers. 
Illegal migration into Greece has slowed at the crossing near the Turkish city of Edirne since the Frontex mission, charged by the European Union to monitor its borders, deployed there for four months. But while this gap in the Schengen Zone may be partially plugged, the problem has simply been displaced. A report. 
Immigration is good for Europe, according to a group of eminent personalities including Joschka Fischer, Javier Solana and Timothy Garton Ash. European leaders should heed their message, suggests Dutch journalist Hans Goslinga. 
How many will leave the country? As Germany and Austria open their borders to workers from several Central and Eastern European countries, Polish authorities fear a new exodus of labour. 
Battered by the crisis between France and Italy over the north African immigrants who landed on Lampedusa and were blocked at the French border, the Schengen agreements are now being openly questioned by Paris and Rome. On April 26, Nicolas Sarkozy and Silvio Berlusconi announced they are in favour of “changes” to the accord on the freedom of movement. 
Confronted with thousands of North African migrants arriving on its shores, Italy has gone begging for a show of solidarity from its EU partners. On April 11, however, the Ministers of Interior and Justice of the Twenty-Seven reminded Rome that when it comes to migration, each country enforces its own rules. 
The EU intends to set up some common rules on asylum. The surge in the polls of xenophobic parties in several countries and the influx of migrants from north Africa, however, have combined to make the debate an explosive one. 
Hundreds of North African refugees are continuing to land on the Italian island of Lampedusa off the Tunisian coast, provoking a humanitarian and political crisis. At the same time, hundreds of others are attempting, usually without success, to cross the border between Italy and France, which is their final destination. 
Italy has requested financial assistance from the EU to cope with the wave of migrants from north Africa. Instead of increasing the budget of Frontex, the border security agency, the EU should rather reform its asylum policy to foster economic integration of immigrants. 
Every day, 305 Dutch citizens leave the Netherlands to live abroad. Sweden, which offers tranquility and a life that is close to nature, is one of their favourite destinations. 
With the collapse of the Ben Ali regime, thousands of Tunisians have caught the boat to Europe. Their landing on the nearby Italian island of Lampedusa and the chaos this has caused foreshadows what could happen on the southern shores of the EU if the migration controls worked out with North African countries were to vanish, worries an alarmed La Stampa columnist. 
Is there a way to satisfy a need to grow the labour force and set right the wrongs of history? In differing contexts, Hungary, Romania and Spain have found a solution, reintegrating “compatriots” living abroad. Here, a conservative Polish columnist offers his own peculiar remedy for the immigration “threat”... 
Karina and Rouslan fled from Chechnya to France, before being deported back to Poland, their point of entry into the EU. Le Monde reports on an absurd itinerary dictated by the Dublin II regulation.
