Perspectives on the EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum
Hosted by the Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM), the symposium Perspectives on the EU’s New Pact on Migration and Asylum is taking place on November 7.
The Symposium convenes academics, experts, policymakers and civil society representatives to discuss the implications of the new set of rules for migration patterns towards and within the European Union.
Three years ago, in September 2020, the European Commission presented the New Pact on Migration and Asylum, a set of regulations that aim to create a fairer, more efficient, and more sustainable migration and asylum process for the European Union. After years on the negotiating table, an "agreement on the pact has never been so close", according to President von der Leyen's State of the Union address in September 2023. If approved, the pact will give the 27 Member States the same rules on reception, welcoming system, crisis management and different procedures to manage the EU's external borders and the people seeking international protection.
How exactly will the pact change the EU’s asylum process, what does it mean for asylum seekers who are rejected, what is envisaged for labour migration and inclusion within Europe, and what are the implications of the agreements with third countries, these are just some of the questions that will be tackled during the two-hour event.
