EU lists seven 'safe' countries of origin, tightening asylum rules
The European Union publishes a list of seven countries it considers "safe", in a bid to speed up migrant returns by making it harder for citizens of the listen nations to claim asylum in the bloc. The list is "dynamic," explains European Commission spokesperson Markus Lammert, "that means it can be expanded or reviewed over time." SOUNDBITE
