Federal administration to present suggestions on processing asylum applications in external nations by December.
The Federal Interior Ministry sought advice from specialists for a joint summit with the states, regarding outsourcing refugee evaluations to foreign nations. The strategies of Britain involving refugee assessments in eastern African Rwanda, and Italy's agreement on such procedures in Albania, served as references. Most specialists expressed doubt about the feasibility for Germany, pointing to numerous legal and practical impediments.
Scholz declined to engage in conjecture about which strategy might suit Germany. "The matter is still under thorough consideration," he stated. "Thus, all assumptions about what will succeed and what won't are strictly prohibited."
The President of Lower Saxony, Stephan Weil (SPD), remained critical. The expert meeting had "raised a plethora of questions," he stated. He urged caution, suggesting that such an examination might not yield a favorable outcome.
The President of Hesse, Boris Rhein (CDU), was convinced that the Federal Government and the states "will not simply rely on expert opinions" but "will now be presented with potential models and concrete suggestions for implementation." Rhein labeled this a "significant step" towards realizing a practical model.
