ジョセップ・ボレル欧州連合（EU）外務・安全保障政策上級代表兼欧州委員会副委員長は、EUを代表して以下の声明を発表した。

「移民・難民を道具化することは全く受け入れられない。困窮している人々を政治的な目的の遂行のために利用することは、欧州の基本的価値や原則に反する。従って、EUとその加盟国は、ベラルーシ政権が移民・難民を手段として利用していることを非難する。

EUとその加盟国は、EUの対外国境の一体性を維持するため、ベラルーシからEUへと急増が続く非正規の人の移動に対応する。EUは、自身の段階的なアプローチに沿って、人権を侵害する密入国あっせん業者もしくはその他の人身取引に関する者を標的とした制限的措置の適用を検討する。

EUとその加盟国は今も、EUの対外国境を守るため、国際的な人の移動を効果的に管理する決意である。EUに滞在する権利のない者は送還される。この文脈において、EUとその加盟国は、EU法および国際法に従って、全ての必要な措置を講じる」

Belarus: Declaration by the High Representative on behalf of the European Union on the instrumentalisation of migrants and refugees by the regime

The instrumentalisation of migrants and refugees is utterly unacceptable. Using human beings in need to advance political goals violates fundamental European values and principles. Accordingly, the EU and its member states condemn the instrumentalisation of migrants and refugees by the Belarusian regime.

The EU and its member states will address the ongoing surge in irregular crossings into the EU from Belarus to preserve the integrity of its external border. In line with its gradual approach, the EU will consider the possibility of restrictive measures targeted at migrants’ smugglers abusing human rights or those otherwise involved in trafficking in human beings.

The EU and its member states remain determined to effectively manage migratory flows in order to protect the EU’s external borders. People who have no right to stay in the EU shall be returned. In this context, the EU and its member states will take all necessary measures in accordance with EU and international law.

The EU and its member states, in solidarity, already increased their support, including through the deployment of the FRONTEX rapid border intervention and additional technical assistance, and are ready to strengthen it even further. Member states will swiftly provide the support necessary to ensure the immediate deployment of the relevant teams and assets.

We will continue to implement our external migration policy. We will work to further strengthen EU return capacities as part of a comprehensive approach, including through dialogues and partnerships with the countries of origin and transit.
