Migration: Britische Regierung beendet Migrationsvereinbarung mit Frankreich

The UK government has ended a migration agreement with France aimed at reducing illegal migrant crossings over the English Channel. The British Home Office announced on Wednesday that no new cases would be processed under the so-called "One-in-One-out" accord. Under this plan, individuals arriving in the UK after the perilous Channel crossing could be detained and returned to France in exchange for an equal number of asylum seekers who had applied legally to enter the UK.

According to the Home Office, 1,117 asylum seekers from France entered the UK between August 2025 and June 2026, while 1,087 were deported. "We continue to work with France to relentlessly combat small boat crossings, and we have made genuine progress," the statement read. While no new cases are being processed, the Home Office declared that deportation flights for those already detained would continue in the coming weeks.
