Council of State has "great concerns" about Asylum Minister's plans

NL Times  

The Council of State has “great concerns” about Minister Marjolein Faber’s plans to reduce the number of asylum seekers and implement a two-status system, it said in advice on two draft bills submitted by the PVV Minister. The laws will “considerably” increase the workload of the institutions involved, cost a lot of money, and lead to longer, not shorter asylum procedures, the Council of State said. The proposed measures will also lead to new legal questions that need to be answered.” The Council of State “emphatically” pointed out that is not only the immigration service IND that is already overloaded and facing staff shortages, but also the immigration law system. If the implementation of the Migration Pact is not realized on time, there is a risk of duplication of work, because aliens can still rely on the Migration Pact.” The Council of the Judiciary and the Dutch Bar Association also previously raised concerns about the Schoof I Cabinet’s asylum plans.
