What happened
The Council of the EU approved a new Return Regulation in Luxembourg on October 1. This regulation replaces the 2008 Return Directive and establishes a legal framework for 'return hubs' in non-EU countries. The rules set obligations on people with no right to stay, requiring them to leave and cooperate with authorities.

Why it matters
The new rules complement the Migration and Asylum Pact and allow member states to recognize each other's return decisions. Non-compliance with the regulation may result in sanctions, ranging from reduced benefits to financial penalties.
