- Description
- Parliament will vote on a reform of the EU’s asylum and migration rules. The new rules will ensure responsibility sharing among EU countries in the management of migrant arrivals, a more efficient response in case of crisis, and a respect of fundamental rights.
The EU has been working on a New Pact on Migration and Asylum and in February 2024 Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement to revamp the EU’s asylum and migration laws.
The pact sets out improved and faster procedures throughout the EU’s asylum and migration system. It revises the Dublin regulation, which determines the country responsible for processing each asylum claim.
The new system sets different types of contributions from EU countries, ranging from the relocation of asylum seekers from the country of first entry, to the returning of people deemed to have no right to stay. The new system is based on solidarity and flexible forms of support, which could becom...

- Have you ever felt like shying away from a discussion because the tone was too aggressive and your opinion seemed to get lost between extreme statements?
This is what usually happens when the most extreme points of view are artificially boosted.
By polarising the debate, disinformation spreaders want to make us believe that the differences between us are much greater than they really are and make it difficult to make compromises and reach solutions.
Watch this video to see how this is done and how you can avoid falling into this trap.

- MEPs discuss with the European Council and Commission how to address the urgent concerns surrounding Ukrainian children being forcibly deported to Russia.
Since Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine began in February 2022, international organisations have documented a wide range of serious human rights violations affecting children. Reports of children forcibly deported or displaced by Russian authorities, combined in many cases with them being subjected to re-education programmes and forced adoption, have raised concern.
According to the Children of War initiative of the Ukrainian National Information Bureau (NIB), more than 19 500 children have been deported or forcibly displaced, and only 388 have been returned.

- Migration is one of the main concerns for Europeans nowadays. In this interview, the chair of Parliament’s home affairs committee, Juan Fernando López Aguilar, insists that it should not be seen as a threat, but as a fact that requires a joint approach by all EU countries.
As the EU finalises the adoption of new rules to improve migration and asylum management, López Aguilar says that the so-called migration package is “a step forward”, but “it will not be the end of the story”.
“There will be some other pending issues which are not comprehended in the package and are extremely relevant,” such as cracking down on the business model of smugglers and the trafficking of human beings, and establishing a European search and rescue framework, he said.
