The current debate on EU Migration and Asylum pact
The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum refers to a package of policy proposals and recommendations in the areas of migration, asylum, integration and border management. It was launched in September 2020 to break the long-standing political deadlock between member states on the reform of EU asylum and migration policy. In fall 2023, negotiations on the Migration and Asylum Pact were entering their final phase.
