Migration Policy Forum on EU Asylum Reform

After years of protracted negotiations, the Council agreed on a compromise for two key pieces of legislation, which form the basis of the ongoing negotiations with the European Parliament. Together, the Council position on the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation (previously: Dublin III) and the Asylum Procedures Regulation cover no less than 300 pages, meaning that only selected elements have been discussed in the political and media arena so far. The Migration Policy Forum (MPF) on Tuesday 29 of August 2023 will shed light onto two central components. What exactly is meant by ‘mandatory’ but ‘flexible’ solidarity? What changes does the Council support for safe third countries? The event will take place in physical presence and will be streamed online. Further information on the programme and registration can be found on the event website.
