Repeal of Directive 2008/115/EC on a common system for the return of third-country nationals staying illegally in the Union

This procedure aims to create a unified approach across the EU for returning individuals who are staying in the Union without legal permission. It seeks to replace existing, older directives with a single, updated legal framework to manage returns more effectively and consistently.

The new rules will affect third-country nationals staying illegally in the EU, as well as member states' authorities responsible for implementing return procedures. It aims to ensure fair treatment and respect for fundamental rights during the return process.
