It will be easier to remove unauthorized settlements – Sveriges Radio

Among other things, the land owner does not have to identify those that should be removed, according to government investigators Maria Åhrling.

– Property owners will have the opportunity to apply for special assistance without identifying the residents. You have to make an effort. But it fails it, the possibility still be taking up this application to trial, she said.

Why is eliminating one this identification requirement?

– Because it’s so incredibly difficult for landowners to identify all the people who are in the settlements. They are not very willing to provide this data, and d is often very many.

Recent years have multiple larger settlements with EU migrants grew up in several parts of the country. Both the police and bailiff has the ability to remove people living without permission on someone else’s land. But the system, as it stands today, does not work well. According to the investigation, it framförall identification requirement of the residents who lets the process will be very sluggish

A true example is the tent camp on the vitalization of Malmo, which was drained in the fall.

Justice Minister Morgan Johansson thinks the proposals are good.

– This proposal means that simplifies and brings down costs. It’s great.

What is it that will mark a streamlining of these issues?

– Yes, it is they who are on the these settlements. The police believes that it is in about 260 settlements, in December last year. It is possible that this number has decreased somewhat where they have acted in the spring. It is clear that for the people who live there is the option to settle anywhere legally. Can not do that, then they should simply go home back to the countries they come from, Romania, Bulgaria, or which country we are talking about, says Morgan Johansson.

At the end of the year, expect the Minister of Justice with a to present a legislative proposal.
