UK-France agreement collapses: aimed at curbing small-boat migration across the English Channel

The British government announced on Wednesday that a pilot scheme between the United Kingdom and France, designed to stem the tide of small-boat migration across the English Channel, had been scrapped.

英国政府于周三宣称,英法两国间旨在遏止穿越英吉利海峡的小船移民潮之试点计划业已废止。

In a statement, the UK Home Office declared that the so-called "one in, one out" agreement "will no longer process new cases".

英国内政部在一份声明中宣称,所谓的“一进一出”协议“不再处理新案件”。

Under the scheme, those who arrive in the UK after making the perilous Channel crossing may be detained and returned to France, in exchange for an equivalent number of asylum seekers admitted through safe and legal routes.

依据该方案,凡经危险横渡海峡后抵境英国者,或遭羁押并遣返法国,以换取同等数量循安全合法途径提出申请的寻求庇护者。

As part of that agreement, approximately 1,500 people were returned to France, while a slightly smaller number were transferred to the United Kingdom.

作为该协议之组成部分,约1500人遭遣返法国,而略少于此数者则被转移至英国。

The agreement had originally been intended to remain in force for three years, yet it contained a clause permitting either party to terminate it prematurely.

该协议原拟存续三年,然其中载有一项允许双方提前终止之条款。

In a statement, the UK Home Office said: "We continue to work hand in glove with France in our unwavering determination to crack down on small boat crossings, and we have made substantial progress."

英国内政部在声明中表示:“我们持续与法国通力协作,矢志不渝地打击小船穿越行径,且已斩获实质性进展。”

Although the scheme has already been discontinued, the Home Office nevertheless stated that it would continue to arrange deportation flights for those already in detention over the coming weeks.

尽管该计划业已停止实施,内政部仍表示,未来数周内将继续为已被拘留者安排遣返航班。

The current situation is a world away from that of last year.

当前局势与去年可谓判若云泥。

Owing to a multitude of factors — not least the bolstering of police patrols and intensified surveillance in northern France — this year's number of crossings has plummeted to its lowest ebb in five years.

缘于诸多因素——其中不乏法国北部警力巡逻的增派与监控力度的强化——今年的穿越人数骤降至五年来的最低谷。

To date, roughly 19,000 people have made the crossing, a reduction of approximately 40% compared with the same period last year.

迄今为止,约有19000人完成了穿越,较去年同期缩减了约40%。

An incident on Monday laid bare in stark terms the lethal perils of the crossing: a 10-year-old child and two women lost their lives, evidently crushed to death in a desperately overcrowded vessel carrying more than a hundred people.

周一的一起事件深刻揭示了穿越行为的致命风险:一名10岁儿童与两名妇女不幸罹难,显然是在一艘载客逾百人的极度拥挤船只上遭踩踏致死。

After the acrimonious rupture in UK–EU relations in 2020, cooperation to curb small boats ground to a halt; yet in recent years, Britain and France have concluded a number of agreements to tackle this vexing problem.

2020年英欧关系剧烈撕裂后,遏制小型船只的协作一度陷入停滞,然而近数年间,英法两国已缔结多项协议以应对这一难题。

In recent years, the crossing of the English Channel by small boats has evolved into a highly combustible and sensitive issue in British politics.

近年来,小船穿越英吉利海峡俨然演变为英国政坛一触即发的敏感议题。

Successive governments have appeared utterly powerless to address it, public discontent has consequently boiled over, a series of demonstrations and riots have erupted as a result, and the far-right party Reform UK has likewise seized this favourable tailwind to rise abruptly to prominence.

历届政府对此似束手无策,民怨随之沸腾,一系列示威与骚乱由此爆发,极右翼政党“改革英国党”亦借此东风异军突起。
