EPIM Policy Update July 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 analyses the Council Summit which took place in Brussels at the end of June. Other key highlights of this Policy Update include:

• The shrinking space for Search and Rescue efforts in the Mediterranean;
• Discussions on the Multiannual Financial Framework
• Progress on the Global Compacts;
• A closer look from Doctors of the World Germany at healthcare access for mobile EU citizens.
