EPIM Policy Update October 2017

EPIM Policy Updates are developed as a resource for organisations interested in European policy developments in the area of migration and integration. The European Policy Centre (EPC), a Brussels-based think tank, has been commissioned to produce these Policy Updates, which are released five times a year.

EPIM Policy Updates address topics relevant to EPIM’s Thematic Funds: Immigration Detention; Reforming the Common European Asylum System; Children and Youth on the Move; Mobile EU Citizens’ Access to Rights; and Building Inclusive European Societies.

Key highlights of this Policy Update include:

• The decision by the ECJ on mandatory relocation;
• The mid-term review of the Agenda on Migration and the update of the Schengen Border Code;
• A closer look from FEANTSA on homelessness among EU citizens living in the UK;
• Relevant reports such as the Council of Europe’s report on the situation in the Greek hotspots.
