Abstract

In September 2019, European Commission President Ursulavon der Leyen announced a New Pact on Migration and Asylum, involving a comprehensive approach to external borders, asylum and return systems, the Schengen area of free movement and the external dimension.The Communication on a New Pact on Migration and Asylum, presented together with a set of legislative proposals, including this proposal amending the 2016 proposal for a recast Asylum Procedures Regulation, represents a fresh start on migration. The aim is to put in place a broad framework based on a comprehensive approach to migration management, promoting mutual trust among Member States. Based on the overarching principles of solidarity and a fair sharing of responsibility, the new Pact advocates integrated policy-making, bringing together policies in the areas of asylum, migration, return, external border protection and relations with key third countries.
