EU Asylum Reform Takes Effect With Border Screening and Biometric Checks
- On June 12, the European Union's Migration Pact entered into force, establishing new rules for asylum procedures and border management after nearly eleven years of development.
- The Migration and Asylum package comprises ten legislative acts built around four main pillars, including strengthened external border protection and faster asylum procedures.
- Under the controversial "Flexible" solidarity mechanism, Member states must manage an annual quota of at least 30,000 migrants or alternatively pay €20,000 per person to avoid accepting asylum seekers.
- The European Union is introducing "return hubs" outside its borders and expanding the Eurodac database to store personal data and fingerprints for coordinated enforcement.
- While New Rules apply to all Member states, full practical implementation will take time, and many states still resist taking in asylum seekers despite the agreed framework.
