"We need a functioning asylum system for Europe that puts a stop to illegal entry attempts," emphasized Stocker after the meeting on Monday in Vienna, according to a press release. Brunner's proposal for a new return regulation is an important part of the European asylum turnaround.

Austria will continue to advocate at the European level for asylum procedures to be possible in third countries in the future, said the Federal Chancellor. Brunner emphasized regarding the reform of the return regulation: "We are taking determined and consistent action against those who circumvent our migration and asylum system and thereby undermine it to the detriment of all. We do not need more return decisions, but more actual returns."
