NLs gathering support for plan: ferry refugees back to Turkey (= safe
third country) & entry 250,000 refugees p/year to EU

Dutch plan seeks to ferry refugees back to Turkey
Refugees who arrive on Greek islands by boat would be returned to Turkey
almost immediately under Labour Party proposal.
29 Jan 2016
A plan presented by the Dutch Labour Party is proposing to ferry back
refugees from the Greek islands to Turkey, in an attempt to control the
influx of refugees into Europe.
The Netherlands, currently holding the European Union presidency, is
gathering support for the plan among several EU member states including
Germany, Diederik Samsom, the Labour party leader, told Dutch media on
Thursday.
According to the plan, which is suggested for implementation this
spring, refugees who arrive in Greece would be returned to Turkey almost
immediately by ferry. In exchange, European Union member states would
accept up to 250,000 refugees residing in Turkey a year.
The idea is to discourage refugees from taking the dangerous route by
sea. Refugees trying to enter Europe via the Greek islands would be
returned within a few days, according to the plan.
"The express highway for migrants between Greece and Turkey has to come
to an end," Samson told Dutch radio. "The Aegean Sea has become a mass
grave; 3,700 people died there last year," he added.
The implementation of the plan, which is said to have the support of
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, would depend on Turkey having the
status of a safe country for refugees.
To reach that status Turkey would have to adopt several laws and improve
the situation for asylum seekers. "It has to become a safe country,"
Samson said.
'Violation of Geneva Convention'
The proposal is being severely criticised by academics and politicians
in the Netherlands.
Professor Henk van Houtum, head of the Nijmegen Centre for Border
Research, described the proposal as "an example of a totally topsy-turvy
world".
"First, Europe creates some sort of survival of the fittest by forcing
refugees to cross the sea in dangerous circumstances, because they
cannot enter legally. Then, once the refugees have reached the other
side; you send them back by boat again?

"This does not solve anything; it's just transferring the problem
elsewhere, to an unsafe country where they have no future.
"In fact, it is a violation of the Geneva Convention which says anyone
who qualifies for refugee status should be granted asylum in the country
where the application is made," Van Houtum said.
'Be like Australia'
Samson's plan has similarities with the Australian asylum policy that
was introduced in 2013.
In Australia, migrants who try to reach the country by boat have no
chance of a permanent stay and are immediately sent to detention centres
on Papua New Guinea and other surrounding islands.
Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders argued in April last year that
the Netherlands' refugee policy should be more like Australia's. "At
least they have the balls to stop the influx of migrants," he said.
But now even Wilders appears to reject the ferry plan proposed by Samsom.
"What a useless plan," he wrote on Twitter. "First we send the fortune
seekers by boat to Turkey and then after that by plane to Europe and the
Netherlands?"
The Dutch proposal to force a solution to the refugee crisis came just
after Prime Minister Rutte said that the EU had six to eight weeks to
reach an agreement on how to tackle immigration.
If not, "the EU will have to think about a plan B," Rutte said, without
elaborating.

Europe Dutch plan wants to ferry refugees straight away from Greece back to Turkey

EUROPE MASS DEPORTATIONS SET TO LEAVE UK
Please share widely- public appeal regarding multiple charter flights next week
Recently, the Detained Fast Track system was declared unlawful,demanding that the UK Home Office take a serious look at the problems
inherent in its asylum policy. Fast Track does not give people a chance
to make an individual case and moves too quickly. The Home Office does
not seem interested in reflecting on these problems, as next week it has
scheduled two charter flights to leave on the same night of the 28th,
carrying hundreds of people, many of whom have had no chance to make a
case for their right to remain. Many individuals we have spoken to have
outstanding applications which the Home Office intends to steamroller
through or ignore.
Charter flights treat removals as a business, and the people removed as
goods for transporting. A charter is a private flight, hired
specifically to remove people from the UK. They fly with only detainees
and guards and are efficient machines for removing those the Home Office
can manage to refuse, with whatever weak excuses they can find. Private
companies run the flights, making a huge profit from the control and
destruction of lives.
The Home Office would like to be able to bundle anyone onto a charter
flight, whenever possible, without notice. The bigger and more
impersonal the machine the better. Next Tuesday is a strong example.
Two flights are leaving at the same time, one for Nigeria, and one
headed to Sierra Leone via Ghana and Liberia. The attitude of
'wholesale efficiency' and the casual inhumanity of these flights is
written large.
The people condemned by the Home Office to removal (which stands for
persecution, trauma, risk, and potentially death) come from many
different backgrounds and all have a different story to tell. Included
in some of these stories are situations of 'criminal deportation'.
Someone who has been granted right to remain in the UK but does not have
citizenship will always have the threat of the Home Office hanging over
them. If they end up with a criminal conviction, they do not face the
same justice system as those of us with papers in the UK. In addition,
over and above serving the usual sentence, the Home Office can also use
criminal proceedings as an excuse to remove someone they had previously
deemed genuinely in need of protection.
The flight for Nigeria leaves from Stansted airport at 11.30 PM on
Tuesday night. We don't have confirmation on where the other flight
leaves from, but it's scheduled for the same time.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Email or call your MP – find your MPs contact details here
http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/mps/
Contact the Home Secretary, Teresa May by phone, both emails, and
website- details here http://www.tmay.co.uk/contact
Please share widely- public appeal regarding multiple charter flights next week
Complain to Stansted airport that they are allowing this barbaricpractice to take place-
http://www.stanstedairport.com/help-and-advice/your-feedback/
Visit Stansted to spot the plane in question and let us know which
company is making money from human transportation.
Other creative ideas! If anyone wants support or materials to help
spread the word about these flights and get active, or if you have any
ideas, please get in touch.
Please get in touch as well if you are or know anyone affected by these
flights. We are trying to gather information and stories so that the
Home Office cannot make people just disappear.
Share this widely...

Europe 9th Balkan Anarchist Bookfair, 2015
(en) anarkismo.net: 9th Balkan Anarchist Bookfair, 2015
The Balkan Anarchist bookfair (BASK) is an annual anarchist event that changes location each year. ---- This year BASK will take place in Autonomous cultural Centre Nigdjezemska in Zadar, on 11th and 12th of September, 2015. ---- Why Zadar? About the space: ---- Aftertwo years of restoring and cleaning the building in abandoned military barracks, this spring the Autonomous cultural Centre Nigdjezemska opened it's doors. Nigdjezemska arose out of the missing space in Zadar for people to organize activities like d.i.y gigs, discussion and workshops, movie screenings, freeshop, bicycle repairing, gardening and other activities on self-organized and horizontal level! ---- Anarchist bookfairs are organized in different cities over the world and open space for discussion and exchange about anarchist topics. The idea of Balkan anarchist bookfair is to connect different anarchist people and groups and to be a weekend, on which we can meet each other, discuss, question, exchange local experiences and struggles and develop perspectives for local and also international resistance. The bookfair lives through participation and solidarity of different people and groups. Balkan Anarchist Bookfair was first organised in 2003 and since then it happened in Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sofia, Skopje, Thessaloniki, Mostar and Zrenjanin, which created solidarity network through the Balkan and beyond. Please let us know in advance, if you want to do a presentation, discussion, book stall or if you have other suggestions for the weekend! We only have limited sleeping places. So please let us know in advance if you need a sleeping place (How many are you? Are there any needs that we have to consider choosing your sleeping place?) We are looking forward to hear from you and welcome your ideas! Program of the bookfair will be announced closer to the bookfair dates.

Europe AL/FdCA - Alternativa Libertaria, March 2015 - The Jobs Act son of the lines of industry restructuring
The recent implementation decrees of the Jobs Act enacted by the Italian government are
added to other anti-worker legislation approved in the European Union (EU). Individual
contracts to increasing protections, the redefinition of employment, flexibility released
from bargaining, the monetization of layoffs and expulsion from the production cycle are
meant to bring immediate irrelevance right coalition of workers and the role of ' trade
union organization in the factories. ---- But, at the same time, it performs well even in
the Italian part of the restructuring of the labor law that, behind the facade of the
austerity policies inculcated by the economy of debt, you put in the process of
restructuring industry, already completed, in place in the EU. ---- These processes are
following four guidelines.
1. The employees undergo these restructuring processes
There is no EU regulations on labor issues. Meanwhile national rules do not work anymore,
as enterprises under the blackmail of moving to another country or have been dismantled to
not interfere in the ongoing processes.
These new systems of companies that have formed are in fact dominant.
2. To start from Maastricht, European industry has been structured as an industry
supranational.
3. We are in the presence of business systems structured around a leader with business
networks and supply chains.
4. Systems businesses distributed in many countries, but in a non-homogeneous and highly
concentrated, or rather centralized and structured so oligopolistic.
Supply chains that have gradually built have developed a highly integrated system, both in
efficiency criteria for both margins of return (profit); the latter are less and less
detectable levels of individual enterprise and, increasingly, at the level of each system,
so in the event that it is composed of a chain of levels on the network with less
stringent constraints.
Through all this, they are consolidated in Europe powers which are capable of investment
choices in production capacity, to structure the market, placing the finance where needed,
and finally to adjust the work directly.
If you enter the system of governance of these enterprise systems, we highlight the
physical control on production flows, then on quality, time, flexibility and speed of
execution, of rapid change in the mix of products to be supplied, but also on efficiency
overall production - namely productivity, lead time, time to market - and finally in the
margins of return (profit) of that single enterprise system.
Such systems are, therefore, organized around a leader who controls the final part of the
process, in a supply chain organized in decreasing levels of value-added and business
networks of production and services, both highly specialized, working for different
leading enterprises.
Who dominates all this, who controls a large part of these networks product is Germany
that has bent a great part of national industrial systems to their needs, using even
though nostalgic approach to national-capitalist.
If you examine the localization of manufacturing in the EU, shows that the core is placed
in Germany, which together with Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Lithuania,
Slovenia and Poland form the German manufacturing area enlarged. The integration extends
to the east, where there is also an acceleration in the process of diversification and
specialization.
The development to the south includes the second European factory: Italy. Which
participates in a consistent way to the enlarged German manufacturing also with autonomous
chains of subcontracting created to the east. This phenomenon of Germanization develops in
the north of Italy and decreases towards the center and the south.
We are witnessing a reality split in two: one part participates in the integrated system,
while the other party participates as suburbs.
It should be emphasized that relocation Italian covered subcontracting chains comprising
the entire product, unlike the German case, where the final component remains company
leaders, determining the end an increase of production capacity.
Simplifying: a high amount of intermediate goods exports contribute German. Which would
lead to the redefinition of the current reference in the European area, no longer be
considered only in terms of quantity and (in) imbalance towards Germany.
Remains in northern Italy a composition made of SMEs, which, in itself of little relevance
in the reference European, maintains its own network of exports compared to Germany.
In this context, resume with force in Europe mergers, mergers and changes of ownership of
companies manufacturing and service.
In fact, the concept of manufacturing limited only to manufacture material is expanded to
include services for the company as it is configured in this system. These are services
such as research and development, the functions of design, marketing, services, production
processes, support services to the product, etc. It should, therefore, considered an
interdependence between services and manufacturing; a part of the services is inside and
is absorbed by the product, while another part is added subsequently.
In Italy, about 25% of manufacturing has been contracted, resulting in a breakdown of the
class. This is one of the points that have caused and are causing the extreme difficulty
to resume a path of negotiation, in addition to the existence of a lack of legislative
constraints on procurement contracts.
The class, as we said, undergoes these processes, while fielding throughout the European
economic area a strong resistance. But, until now, this has not translated into a strategy
/ plan of recovery of the balance of power aimed at imposing capital constraints or social
alternative to the dismantling of the rights and protections, nor in prefigure an idea of
society other than that the owners are building and shaping.
Germany branch elements underlying anti-workers synthetically constructed around the
dramatic reduction of wages, unemployment, radical change in the market of labor and
industrial relations and social, which have gradually extended, worsening, in the
countries of Southern Europe and Eastern Europe for reasons ranging, for example, from
non-existence to the poor coverage of the welfare state; the position of lower
profitability starting capital imposing draconian austerity measures to bear the
proletarians to the processes of social butchery current characterizing the role of the
state in the capitalist phase in progress.
In Germany we see a reduction in wages, the creation of a market of the workforce consists
of bands, where in addition to temporary work (about 30% in less than a salary of a
permanent worker), you have created a army of 7 million low-wage workers with consequent
poverty pockets. Germany also benefits from another piece of the market of the workforce
resulting from the weights Europe, joined the EU for the next step; countries where the
wage is 2-3 euro per hour, with no rights and protections decent, where they have been and
are being developed supply chains for manufacturing and services.
The neo-German freighter was fueled not only by the construction of an integrated
broad-based low wages in other countries, but also on a market segmentation of the
national workforce. It is clear the adjustment of the entire area of the European market
than the labor force on the ground and resulting contract.
The Italian case shows how you manage to dismantle a system of rights and social
protections - despite a strong union presence - replacing it with legislation and a
contract system of master matrix. Italian workers and employees have neither the contract
nor the national status of workers' rights.
The movement of goods, then the increasingly important role of logistics and the massive
introduction of advanced technology in production processes and services, are additional
processes that deepen the relationship of the European integration of manufacturing with
the rest of the manufacturing system worldwide, to push so Federmeccanica (October 2014)
that Confindustria (May 2014) to talk about the fourth industrial revolution.
The resistance and the reaction of the working class is today, as yesterday, increasingly
linked to its ability to reorganize on an international basis and worldwide, developing
forms of union representation necessary to overcome the categorical divisions to build a
re-composition of figures and workers' struggles able to react to the capitalist
restructuring in place.
