Background and further information: The European Union experienced since 2015 the largest number of arrivals of refugees and migrants since the end of the Second World War. The EU and its Member States were not sufficiently prepared to respond effectively, which caused a powerful impact across the region. The integrity of both the Common European Asylum System and of the Schengen area of free movement for European citizens was put into question. In April 2015, the European Commission put forward its 'Ten point action plan on migration', followed by a comprehensive European Agenda on Migration on 13 May to address both immediate challenges and the structural weaknesses of the existing EU migration and asylum policy. The European Commission published on 27 September 2017 a mid-term review on the achievements of its European Agenda on Migration, in which it detects where further efforts are needed and sets out new initiatives to address key areas. |
