EU court washes hands of Turkey migrant deal
By EUobserver
The EU court in Luxembourg said on Tuesday that it lacked jurisdiction to rule on the legality of the 2016 EU-Turkey migrant deal because it was concluded between member states and Turkey at intergovernmental level, and did not involve the EU institutions. Two Pakistanis and an Afghan asylum seeker filed the case after travelling via Turkey to Greece. The EU-Turkey deal risked seeing them returned to Turkey and stuck there.
