Ms McEntee will give an overview of the pact, which consists of nine overlapping directives and regulations, arguing that there are significant risks to not opting in. She will outline how the pact also contains a new screening regulation which kicks in when someone enters the EU irregularly or is found to be in a member state without permission.
Ms McEntee will say that this is to provide “stronger protection for at-risk children”, and that accessing this information will “help in returning secondary movers to the correct member state”.
