European Union countries will be able to set up return hubs in third countries once the return regulation enters into force. These facilities in non-EU countries would be used to host irregular migrants who do not have the right to remain in the EU. The EU has been trying for decades to get more irregular migrants to leave. They would have to conclude an agreement with a third country that is safe and recognises human rights. The examples of non-EU countries that have done something similar suggest this could prove expensive and involve only small numbers of migrants. The plans have been criticised by non-governmental organisations (NGOs), who worry how the human rights of the migrants involved will be affected. There are likely to be many legal challenges.
