Migration is one of the European Union's most divisive political questions, and this event looks at where the bloc's policy now stands. New shared rules on asylum and migration took effect in June, and the idea of sending rejected asylum seekers to return centres outside Europe has been part of the debate. Denmark has been among its supporters.
The panel also examines the EU's growing cooperation with countries outside Europe, including the agreements with Morocco and the role of Frontex, and what happened at Ceuta when thousands crossed the border from Morocco in the summer. The conversation covers why young Moroccans migrate and why member states struggle to agree on a common policy.
The evening opens with a talk by Siri Franceschi, who has visited Melilla and the Moroccan border region. It then continues as a conversation between Ahlam Chemlali and Morten Heiberg, moderated by Siri Franceschi. Afterwards you can stay for a two-course long-table dinner at the venue.
