That said the director-general of Fedasil, Michael Kegels, before the special Chamber Committee on Human Trafficking and Human Smuggling. According to Kegels, the disappearances of minor migrants are a problem that has been going on for years. “It concerns young people who leave spontaneously or who never arrive at their destination, in the reception center.” Kegels said he is reporting the disappearances to Child Focus. He welcomed the task force set up by the Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration Sammy Mahdi. “Fedasil is working on drawing up a national protocol for the disappearance of minors. We are in the final phase of that.”
A second challenge is therefore people who do not join the Fedasil network, even if they should call on it. “There is currently no initiative to communicate with that target group,” says Kegels. There are good examples abroad, especially in Sweden. “For example, via public transport we can try to collect data about those people who fall outside the regular network and are in a precarious situation.” Kegels also recommends setting up smaller shelter structures.
