EPIM Policy Update February 2018

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.

This edition’s special focus looks at the persisting disagreement over the future of the EU’s relocation efforts. Other key highlights of this Policy Update include:

• An update on progress made in the reform of the Common European Asylum System;
• The Bulgarian Presidency´s approach to migration;
• Relevant reports such as UNHCR/ECRE’s report on the use of AMIF funding at national level;
• Funding opportunities and facts and figures.
