A revamped returns directive expected this week in Strasbourg

Innovative solutions are anticipated in upcoming EU legislation on migrant returns, Swedish migration minister Johan Forssell tells Radio Schuman in an exclusive interview featured for Radio Schuman today.

"Something needs to be done and we are looking forward to the new return legislation, of course, but also trying to explore these new innovative solutions. We have been discussing them for many years now, but now is really the time to move forward with more practical arrangements," he added.

The draft law on returns is expected to be a focal point in this week's discussions in Strasbourg, where Members of the European Parliament will convene for their plenary session.

Forssell told Euronews that he had hoped for explicit references to 'return hubs' in the proposal. However, according to a source familiar with the matter, these references will be omitted.

Radio Schuman also takes you to Saudi Arabia, Brussels and Strasbourg for significant meetings to keep watch over, as well as a new train tool that can help planning and booking with journeys.

Today's Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Meabh Mc Mahon, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim. Music by Alexandre Jas.
