EU resettlement and humanitarian admission framework regulation

SUMMARY OF:

Regulation (EU) 2024/1350 establishing a Union resettlement and humanitarian admission framework

WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION?

  • Regulation (EU) 2024/1350 aims to create a common European Union (EU) approach to resettlement1 and humanitarian admission2.
  • The new framework will allow the EU to speak with one voice to increase its contribution to international resettlement efforts.

KEY POINTS

  • The regulation is part of the pact on migration and asylum, a new set of rules to manage migration and set up a common EU asylum system.
  • The EU framework replaces the existing ad hoc resettlement and humanitarian admission schemes in place in some EU Member States.
  • It will provide legal and safe arrival to the EU for eligible non-EU (third-country) nationals or stateless persons, granting them asylum / international protection or humanitarian status under national law.

Main features

  • A common procedure for resettlement and humanitarian admission operations, reducing current divergences among national practices and improving efficiency. The rules include:
    • eligibility criteria;
    • grounds for refusing admission;
    • a consent requirement;
    • rules on granting international protection or a humanitarian status under national law.
  • A two-year EU resettlement and humanitarian admission plan to be based on a proposal by the European Commission, and adopted by means of a Council of the European Union implementing act, which will:
    • determine the total number of persons in need of protection to be admitted to the EU in line with the EU framework and include indications on the voluntary contribution by each Member State;
    • set geographic priorities of non-EU countries from which admission is to occur;
    • take into account the outcome of the meetings of the High-Level Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission Committee meetings.
  • A High-Level Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission Committee, which will advise the Commission on issues related to the implementation of the Regulation.
    • It comprises representatives of the European Parliament, the Council, the Commission and the Member States. The European Union Agency for Asylum, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), and the International Organization for Migration will be invited to its meetings. Other relevant organisations may also be invited.
    • It should meet at least once a year.
  • Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland will be invited to be associated with the implementation of the EU resettlement and humanitarian admission plan.
  • The Member States’ efforts will be supported by appropriate funding from the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund.
  • The Commission must submit an evaluation report on the functioning of the regulation to the Parliament and to the Council by June 2028.
