jameka and yes time to control is mean for example extending frontex we need to avoid border guards coming from specific e.u. states because then they are still for instance italian all multis border guards we need european border guards and a strong frontex group with fifteen thousand to twenty thousand officers patrolling borders coordinated on the european level then we wouldn't have the problem of various power politicians from different states have their say we would have an agreed set of rules that european level. or will there be european civil servants but where's the distinction between legitimate controls and sealing off the you doesn't make them so there is a distinction but it's difficult finding that coming from the human rights committee which i chair and speaking about it in parliament the debate on asylum and refugees from the perspective of human rights policy is a tricky one but it's important for me to emphasize that it's not just a question of not following conformist human rights thinking when we say of course we have to talk about the fact that not everyone who manage

so then regarding asylum and frontex policies what do you say about that is. the measure for me is what we set out in our common resolutions like in the last european council before the austrian presidency began and we will have a meeting in september informally where we'll be looking at questions of migratory flows it is important naturally for me that we protect our external borders but my concern and i said this in june after the european council my concern is that this external protection is seen as a unilateral approach and based on my own political experience i would have to say that it will only work if we work together with the countries of origin and you know a prototype would be the european turkey agreement and that agreement was only possible because we spoke to turkey and this is why we also need to speak to african countries of origin and talk about it with them and i said this at the meeting in june and i feel that this aspect is neglected to a certain extent but we will certainly feed it into the work of the european union and therefore the aus

have told us that confessions and forcibly turned around by greek police acting in coordination with frontex the european union for the agency. this eighteen year old syrian was in the smugglers boats with his young the system. the police came up to us and that but they told us you can't cross they made us turn around the police who previously given us access to their fence and border patrols gave us a statement denying that they'd turn any refugees around think claim their priority is human dignity. but human rights advocates say they know pushbacks happen all the time and accuse the greek government of breaking international. hello and welcome again to rewind and fully back to. since the launch of al-jazeera english back in two thousand and six we've built up a library of award winning documentary s. and here on rewind we've been delving into the vault to pull out some of the best of them today we're going back to two thousand and seven to a poor south african neighborhood just outside cape town when using honor enter dish and come together in an unusual annual competition in recent years

address how to protect my external borders and the european union that's on the one hand the issue of frontex which needs to be better . equipped have a more far reaching mandate the commission is make clear that until twenty twenty ten thousand additional serving from tax officers i need it certainly that's not too many but i know that how overtaxed the police in germany are we will understand it's not about easy to find ten thousand police officers who will be sickened for protecting the external border yet they will make its contribution we've looked into the situation the transit countries and the countries of origin just like to remind you of libya european mission it severe bush was originally a rescue mission. has expended a lot of strength on training and building up the libyan coast guard. and one of the salient points which we really have. so size first if they're not e's a libyan coast guard that is able to be better and better in the way they act then of course international law will have to be observed by everybody operating in this waters that includes n.g.o.s the morty's prime

one of the most concrete things is this idea to strengthen the use external bought a force called frontex by twenty twenty two up to ten thousand police officers and now that already gives you the sort of the way this meeting has been heading it is been all about building a european fortress against migration and for ministers to get a feeling for that the austrian presidency a rotating presidency carnley it is austria running things and it's a populist the far right wing going to remain us are prepared a number of things to really give ministers who came here through the mountains of unspoken feeling you had helicopters swooping you had very strong police presence heavy guns and finally ministers were shown a film that showed all sorts of terrorist attacks that occurred throughout europe including images of refugees from the migration crisis two years ago so the mood was set at what are the biggest points of contention in trying to forge a common migration plan. at the biggest time point of contention really everybody tried to sail around because these other things when it comes to what
