TOUS 4629 Un an apres un accord migratoire aux resultats mitiges

A year after its launch, the Franco-British “One in, One out” agreement is struggling to gain traction. The scheme stipulates the return to France of migrants who arrived clandestinely in the UK via the English Channel, in exchange for the legal acceptance of an equivalent number of asylum seekers. More than a thousand people have already been returned, but several dozen have since come back to the UK. Faced with its perceived limited effectiveness and criticism regarding respect for migrants' rights, London and Paris have extended the agreement until the autumn.
