Wijziging van de Vreemdelingenwet 2000 ter implementatie van de richtlijn nr. 2008/115/EG van het Europees Parlement en de Raad van 16 december 2008 over gemeenschappelijke normen en procedures in de lidstaten voor de terugkeer van onderdanen van derde landen die illegaal op hun grondgebied verblijven (PbEU L 348/98)

This procedure updates the Dutch Aliens Act 2000 to align national law with EU Directive 2008/115/EC. It focuses on establishing common standards and procedures for the return of third-country nationals who are staying illegally within the territory of EU member states. This affects non-EU citizens residing illegally in the Netherlands and the authorities responsible for immigration and deportation, ensuring that return processes follow standardized European legal requirements.
