National and European Migration and Refugee Policy

Forced displacement and migration will remain high on the agenda of national and European policy-makers in the coming years. The historical migration experiences of states, the extent and structure of immigration and emigration often differ fundamentally, as do the associated political challenges and objectives. 

The EU's migration and refugee policy encompasses a large number of different instruments and agreements. The broad consensus on the reception of refugees from Ukraine under the Temporary Protection Directive illustrates the potential for joint European action. Nevertheless, there are profound conflicts of interest within the EU, which have not been resolved by the recent reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). As a result, efforts are being made both at European level and in EU member states to reach bilateral agreements with key countries of transit and origin.
