On 18 May 2016, the European Commission adopted its latest progress report on the EU's emergency relocation and resettlement schemes, assessing actions taken up to 13 May 2016. Overall, progress remained unsatisfactory since the Commission's second report, despite signs of increased preparation for future action: few relocations have taken place since mid-April, though the pipeline of future relocations had been strengthened. Progress had been made on resettlement as part of the implementation of the EU-Turkey Statement, but had to be accelerated to avoid migrants returning to irregular routes. Greater efforts on relocation were increasingly urgent in view of the humanitarian situation in Greece and the increase in arrivals to Italy. |
