Switzerland tightens asylum laws
Published: 14 Jun 2012 09:15 GMT+1

Swiss politicians voted for much tougher restrictions on asylum seekers on Wednesday in response to growing pressure for reform from right-wing parties.
In a raft of changes, persecuted individuals may no longer seek refuge at Swiss embassies, and aid is to be cut drastically to refugees once they arrive in Switzerland.

Under the proposals, refugees are to be given "emergency aid": a bed for the night and between eight and 12 francs ($8.4-$12.5/6.7-10 euros) and a day.
This represents half the current allowance.

Further proposals voted on in the parliamentary lower chamber will also make it much more difficult for refugees to bring anyone but their spouses and children to Switzerland.
If the upper chamber gives this proposal the green light, parents of asylum seekers will not be admitted to Switzerland, unless a specific set of criteria is fulfilled.
These include a requirement for refugees to provide adequate housing and sufficient means to support extended family.

In addition, refugees will now have to wait 10 years before they receive their residency permit, doubling the existing five-year wait. At present the number of people seeing asylum in Switzerland is estimated at 40,000.

Left-wing groups expressed concern at the measures, particularly the removal of family refugee status, claiming it would make the process of integration even harder for those arriving on Swiss soil.

Voting on the measures follows a spike in the number of people seeking refuge in Switzerland in the first three months of the year, up 63 percent from a year ago, according to the Federal Migration Office.
For May, the FMO reported 2,331 requests for asylum, four percent down on April.
Eritreans made the biggest number of requests with 437 applications, 86 more than in April, followed by Tunisians (195, down 23 percent) and Nigerians (193, down 21 percent).

Sveitsiläisessä artikkelissa samasta aiheesta mainitaan että kiistanalainen sääntökiristys ei toteudu. Äänestystuloksella 90-88, ja kolme tyhjää, turvapaikanhakijoiden perheenyhdistämisoikeus säilyy yhä . (Hakijan puolisoa ja lapsia yhdistetään siis yhä mutta muita lähisukulaisia ei enää yhdistetä.)

Überraschend hält der Rat am Familienasyl fest.
...
Andere umstrittene Verschärfungen lehnte der Rat ab. So beschloss er mit 90 zu 88 Stimmen bei 3 Enthaltungen, das Familienasyl nicht abzuschaffen. Ehegatten und Kinder von Flüchtlingen sollen demnach weiterhin als Flühtlinge anerkannt werden. Nur für andere nahe Angehörige soll dies nicht mehr möglich sein.

Tämä äänestystulos oli yllätys.
Moni parlamentissa olisi halunnut kokonaan poistaa turvapaikanhakijoiden perheenyhdistämisoikeutta. Tällä kertaa se ei vielä onnistunut.
