It’s getting easier for refugees in Germany
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said in her statement in Berlin that the Council of Ministers had approved an important bill.
Faeser stated that the regulation aims to guarantee that those seeking asylum and those living in the country with a tolerance document (Duldung) have earlier and easier access to the labor market.
“IT SHOULD BE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE”
Minister Faeser said: “We want to make the most of the potential and qualities of those who live in Germany. “For this reason, we must ensure that these people work as quickly as possible,” he said.
IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THOSE WHO REFUSE TO REVEAL THEIR IDENTITY
Stating that the regulation will be valid for those who have the prospect of remaining in Germany, Faeser shared the information that asylum seekers who refuse to reveal their identity will not be included in this regulation.
LEAVE AFTER 6 MONTHS OR LATER
According to the draft law, asylum seekers who are in the first reception centers will be granted a work permit no later than after six months, and those who are in the country with a tolerance certificate (Duldung ) will generally be granted a work permit. People who are going to be deported in a short time will be excluded from this regulation.
WORK HOURS ARE DECREASING
To keep as many people as possible working, the minimum weekly working day will be reduced from 36 to 20 hours.
GERMAN REQUIREMENT
Those who want to benefit from this regulation must speak German, have no connections with extremist organizations and have not committed any crime.
PENALTIES FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING ARE INCREASING
Penalties for human trafficking crimes will also be toughened.
Consequently, smugglers who endanger people’s lives will be sentenced to life imprisonment or 10 to 15 years in the future, and crimes such as escaping from police checkpoints will be sentenced to 1 to 15 years in prison.
Additionally, police and prosecutors will have the authority to intercept communications via telecommunications to shed light on smuggling crimes.
The bill will be sent to the Bundestag. (AA)
