        The EU’s border agency Frontex will spend around €100m this year to return unwanted and rejected asylum seekers.
        “We are in a phase this year 2023, we will be spending around €100m for the return-related activities,” Uku Särekanno, the agency’s deputy director told MEPs on Monday (30 January).
        “So certainly for this year you will see a very significant increase of return operations and also hopefully the number of people who will be returned,” he said.
        The agency in 2021 returned some 18,300 people. Särekanno said the figure had increased last year, noting the agency also intends to launch anti-smuggling operations at ports like Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
        Member states have for years been struggling to returning people they say are not entitled to stay.
        Policy discussions and proposed solutions have also been going on for years, including under the previous commission headed by Jean-Claude Juncker.
        But some states in Africa and elsewhere do not see this as a priority, preferring instead legal pathways for work and education.

          Skyrocketing costs for returning EU migrants

          Data released from Frontex shows the truly astronomical costs of deporting migrants from EU to their countries of origin.


          Skyrocketing costs for returning EU migrants
          The EU is spending millions forcibly sending people back to their home countries with one case costing up to €90,000 per head.
          An EUobserver probe of some 100 joint return flights coordinated by the EU’s border agency, Frontex, has revealed some startling facts.
          The researched cases date from the start of 2015 to October 2016, with the numbers indicating huge costs for returning the thousands of migrants residing in European countries.
          It has been calculated that, on average, the agency has spent around €5,800 for every individual deported back to their country of origin. Over 4,700 have left under the scheme.
          The average cost is a rough estimate, as prices vary wildly depending on factors such as the destination of the flight, its route, or the number of escort personnel needed.
          Deporting an Albanian from Germany may cost around a thousand euros, whereas forced returns to Nigeria may run up to €9,000.
          A spokesperson at the Warsaw-based agency explained that sudden price hikes were also linked to “unexpected circumstances.”
