英法移民遣返协议将于周四到期

英国与法国之间的"一进一出"移民遣返协议预计于本周四到期1。该协议由英国首相基尔·斯塔默和法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙于2025年7月宣布，首批航班同年9月起飞1。根据协议最初安排，该计划设定于4月到期，后被延长至10月1日1。

截至协议到期前，已有超过1400人通过该计划从英国被遣返回法国，同等数量的寻求庇护者则从法国飞往英国1。英国内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德披露该计划每人成本约56000英镑1。今年1月至9月27日，共19135人经英吉利海峡从法国偷渡到英国，较去年同期下降42%1。

然而，协议延期陷入谈判僵局。法国内政部长洛朗·努涅斯在6月表示协议的价值明确，但法国不愿单独与英国继续该协议，主张将其纳入欧盟-英国协议框架1。英国政府消息人士则表示："我们希望协议继续。但如果不继续也不是世界末日，因为它从未达到足以有效阻止小船来英的规模"1。

A bilateral migration returns agreement between the United Kingdom and France is scheduled to expire on Thursday, according to government sources 1. The arrangement, which pairs the deportation of migrants from the UK to France with the arrival of asylum seekers flown from France to the UK, has become deadlocked in renegotiation talks due to differing positions on its scope and scale 1.

The accord was jointly announced by Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron in July 2025, with the first flights commencing that September 1. Since its implementation through September 27, the scheme has resulted in the deportation of more than 1,400 people from the UK back to France, with equivalent numbers of asylum seekers transferred in the opposite direction 1. The agreement was originally set to conclude in April but was subsequently extended to October 1 1.

France has signaled reluctance to continue the bilateral arrangement independently, instead advocating for the program to be incorporated into a broader EU-UK framework, whereas the UK government has resisted expanding the exchange volumes between the two nations 1. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez stated in June that while the agreement's value was evident, France preferred not to proceed with it as an isolated UK-France initiative 1. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood previously disclosed that the scheme costs approximately 56,000 pounds per person 1.

Official UK sources acknowledged the uncertain outlook, stating that while they hope the agreement continues, "if it doesn't, it's not the end of the world, because it never reached a scale large enough to effectively stop small boats coming to the UK" 1. Despite the returns program, crossings from France via the English Channel have declined significantly; authorities recorded 19,135 attempted entries from January through September 27 this year, representing a 42 percent decrease compared to the same period the previous year 1.
