Explanatory note

States are under an obligation to ensure that people intercepted have access to individualised procedures and there is no refoulement, including in the context of bilateral readmission or migration control agreements. This recommendation encourages EU countries to make return arrangements with countries such as Egypt and Libya where patterns of human rights abuses against migrants and refugees have been documented.
