The Migration, Integration, Asylum - Policy Report 2018 , Date: 2019.10.23, format: report, area: Authority

The annual policy report of the National Contact Point of the European Migration Network (EMN) describes relevant developments in 2018 for almost a dozen topical areas in migration, integration and asylum policy.

As usual, the 15th Policy Report of the European Migration Network provides an overview of the most important political, legal and institutional developments in 2018 in the following areas:

  • general political, legal and institutional structure,
  • legal migration and mobility,
  • international protection and asylum,
  • unaccompanied minors and other vulnerable groups,
  • integration and non-discrimination,
  • citizenship and statelessness,
  • irregular migration, migrant smuggling, border control and visa policy,
  • returns,
  • trafficking in human beings, and
  • migration and development.

The EU-wide comparative report entitled "Annual Report on Migration and Asylum 2018" summarises the results of 27 national policy reports, and thus provides a helpful overview of EU-wide developments. The comparative annual report is available in three different formats, each in English:

  • the detailed EMN synthesis report,
  • the compact EMN Inform, and
  • the one-page EMN Flash.

The national policy report and the EU-wide comparative reports are available for download.

Authors of the Policy Report: Janne Grote, Claudia Lechner, Susanne Worbs, Johannes Graf, Susanne Schührer, Özlem Konar and Anja Kuntscher
