The Meijers Committee’s recommended amendments to the proposed Return Regulation (COM/2025/101/final)

This document recommends amendments to the Commission proposal of the Return Regulation (COM/2025/101 final). These amendments complement our legal analysis of the proposed Regulation and provide recommendations to improve it (CM2505 Meijers Committee Comment on the Proposal for a Return Regulation). The Meijers Committee took notice of the new compromise text as submitted by the Danish Presidency in which some fundamental rights safeguards have been deleted or watered down. We hope that the EU legislator, by considering our proposed amendments on the Commission proposal, will ensure the protection of fundamental rights in accordance with international and EU legal standards.
