Kiel / Munich (dpa / lno) - Schleswig-Holstein, governed by the CDU, the Greens and the FDP, has announced that it will abstain from voting on the decision to extend the deportation freeze for Syria, which is limited to the end of the year.
"The current situation report by the Federal Foreign Office shows no significant improvement in the return situation in Syria," said Interior Minister Sabine Sütterlin-Waack (CDU) on Wednesday at the request of the German Press Agency.
"Schleswig-Holstein is critical of a possible deportation to Syria in the current situation and will abstain from voting at the conference of interior ministers."
Bavaria's head of department Joachim Herrmann (CSU) had previously announced that there would be no decision to extend the deportation stop to Syria.
"The interior ministers of the Union agree on this," said Herrmann, who is also the spokesman for the Union heads of departments, to the dpa before the interior ministers' conference on Wednesday evening.
Federal Minister of the Interior Horst Seehofer (CSU) had announced that he wanted to advocate at the Conference of Interior Ministers that in future, at least in the case of criminals and those at risk, it will be checked in each individual case whether deportations to Syria are possible.
The SPD interior ministers reject this.
So far, due to the humanitarian situation in Syria, there has been a deportation ban for refugees.

A deportation of so-called endangered persons to Syria is still practically impossible according to a legal opinion.
"It would be particularly difficult to return Islamist threats who are often threatened with torture or inhuman treatment," says the report by international lawyer Daniel Thym, which the North Rhine-Westphalian integration minister Joachim Stamp (FDP) had requested.
For Syrians, who have committed many crimes in Germany, this does not apply so unreservedly, in Thym's view, if they can be deported to the capital Damascus, for example.
