In September 2020, the European Commission presented the New Pact on Asylum and Migration which was meant to offer a comprehensive set of rules to manage migration, finally adjust the inadequate European asylum system and overcome the Dublin regulation. Three years later, after lengthy and arduous negotiations, an agreement between the European Parliament and the Council was found. The Pact was finally adopted and entered into force in June 2024. The member states were given two years, until June 2026, to implement it.
In this policy study series, published in cooperation with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and the European Policy Centre, we look at four of the regulations that are included in the Pact, namely the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (AMMR), the Asylum Procedures Regulation (APR), the Crisis and Force Majeure Regulation and the Screening Regulation. The aim is to look at the ways the Pact should and will work to grasp its criticalities, and analyse whether its implementation will help overcome the shortcomings of the previous migration management. The four studies offer also some proposals to ensure correct implementation and the protection of vulnerable applicants.
