Progress report on the implementation of the European Agenda on Migration

Summary:

The European Commission published on 16 May 2018 a progress report on the implementation of the different initiatives in the framework of its European Agenda on Migration. The report includes annexes on the EU Trust Fund for Africa, the Facility for Refugees in Turkey, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, Relocation and Resettlement, and the main elements for developing the European Integrated Border Management Strategy.

Further information:

The situation remained fragile due to ongoing migratory pressure, as evidenced by newly increased arrivals along the Eastern and the Western Mediterranean routes. The report identifies where the response needed to be strengthened: plugging persistent gaps in assets for the European Border and Coast Guard; improving returns; boost resettlement; and better protecting migrants along the routes.
