Union support for asylum, migration and integration [EU Legislation in Progress]

In recent years migration management has gained in importance as a political issue. This is not only in response to the refugee crisis of 2015-2016 when significantly more migrants arrived in Europe, but also due to the changing geopolitical and security situation.

Migration management is one of the European Union’s priorities. The geopolitical context has significantly changed, which has also affected the EU’s migration and asylum management. With the support of the EU, Member States need to be able to rapidly and effectively respond to developments in migratory flows. The European Commission has proposed significantly increasing EU funding for asylum and migration policies in the 2028-2034 multiannual financial framework.

The aim of the proposed regulation is to contribute to the efficient management of migration flows and asylum, including by providing support for the implementation, strengthening and development of the pact on migration and asylum, and the common system of temporary protection for displaced persons in the event of a mass influx.
