Rejected asylum seekers from Ukraine have virtually no money or other support more if they return voluntarily to their own country. Due to improper use have Klaas Dijkhoff Minister of Justice and Minister for Development Cooperation Lilianne Ploumen the arrangements for those persons immediately stop put.
The ministers today sent a letter to this effect sent to the Lower House. Commissioned by the government paid the International Organization for Migration (IOM) € 1,950 to € 3,950 a rejected asylum seeker and who voluntarily returned. This money came from the budget of Dijkhoff and Ploumen.
Perverse incentives
Research has shown that the return premium has a magnetic effect on Ukrainians. Since last summer, still appeared to be more asylum seekers to the Netherlands to seek asylum. Many of them were alone out on the generous compensation, as reported by IOM staff.
From the total budget of the IOM last voluntary return was issued no less than 13% of Ukrainians, according to figures from the organization. The number of asylum seekers from that country was in 2015 to 764 compared with 271 in the previous year. At the same time, the number of voluntary returnees from 58 to 387. Interestingly, many of them came from the city of Ivano-Frankivsk in the western part of the country. They did not win a refugee status because the war against separatists fought in the east of the country.
Artificial influx
Now the regime for Ukrainians is deleted they get only a plane ticket and € 200 voluntary return to the first to pay costs. Simultaneously Dijkhoff Ukraine intends to place on the list of safe countries. Thereby asylum seekers from that country may be dismissed accelerated.
IOM made last month mentions the perverse incentive of the returned contribution. “The danger is that we create an artificial influx of migrants and overload the system,” director Martin Wyss said in an interview in the FD.
It is not the first time that the return contribution is deleted for a population. Last year it was already decided to raise the premium for migrants from Kosovo because it worked like a magnet. Rejected asylum seekers from Mongolia who first have been in another EU country, no longer qualify.
Seduction Money
The severance bonus is to entice rejected asylum seekers to a voluntary departure. Thus the government avoids a process of forced evictions, which often detention and the use of military police involved. Moreover refuse many countries, such as Iraq and Morocco to cooperate in forced returns by not providing travel documents. Ukraine does not raise barriers against forcible return
