In the draft recommendation, delete paragraph 4.2.
Explanatory Note :
International agreements allowing European countries to intercept in the territorial waters of a non-EU country cannot circumvent international human rights obligations which bind authorities exercising de facto and/or de jure jurisdiction over the people intercepted. Any automatic arrangement for returning people to a non-EU country would be in violation of the obligation to assess the personal circumstances of individuals set out in the Hirsi judgement.
