The Migration, Integration, Asylum - Policy Report 2019 , Date: 2021.03.16, format: report, area: Authority

The annual policy report of the National Contact Point of the European Migration Network (EMN) describes relevant developments of the year 2019 across several topical areas in migration, integration and asylum policy.

As usual, the 16th Policy Report of the EMN provides an overview of the most important political, legal and institutional developments in 2019 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,
  • border control and visa policy,
  • irregular migration, migrant smuggling,
  • returns,
  • trafficking in human beings, and
  • migration and development.

In addition, the Policy Report 2019 includes new graphic elements: We have created infographics for the chapters "International protection and asylum", "Integration and non-discrimination", and "Returns" in order to provide a short overview of each topic area. We will continue the redesigning process of the Policy Report over the next few years. The infographics are available for download - temporarily only in German.

The EU-wide comparative report entitled "Annual Report on Migration and Asylum 2019" 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. The national policy report is available in German and English.

Authors of the Policy Report: Friederike Haberstroh, Claudia Lechner, Johannes Graf and Janne Grote
