As the EU embarks on an ambitious but needed reform of its common asylum system, @EUAsylumAgency & @NinaGregoriEUAA are determined to support fair & efficient asylum processes.
This is the only way to treat asylum-seekers & regain public’s trust to defeat anti-refugees politics.
Today, the EUAA welcomed 🇬🇷 @SGVP_Moskoff to the Agency's headquarters to discuss our work & updated operational support for Greece.
Recently, the Agency refocused its efforts in 🇬🇷 on supporting vulnerable applicants & unaccompanied children & prioritising resources for processing new arrivals & registering applications.
Happy 🇪🇺 #EuropeDay from the EUAA!
Today, the EU commemorates its shared values that bind us as a community. In a challenging world, a united 🇪🇺 has never been as important.
Let us reaffirm our commitment to upholding democracy, human rights & solidarity across our continent.
Russia has once again demonstrated its contempt for #IHL.
Yesterday, two missiles struck the office of the EU's humanitarian partner, @DRCinUA, in Kharkiv.
While DRC personnel remained unharmed, two civilians were injured, and operations for local people had to be suspended.
With participation from 27 🇪🇺+ national authorities, I opened the 4th Annual Meeting of Senior Officials of Reception Authorities.
I emphasised the importance of these strategic exchanges, which focus on the preparations for the implementation of the Pact by 🇪🇺 Member States.
🎙️ EUAA's Executive Director @NinaGregoriEUAA speaks to @p_zoran@vladaRS about the importance of the new 🇪🇺 Pact on Migration and Asylum and why it is such an important step forward in ensuring that Europe remains an area of protection for those in genuine need.

🧒Unaccompanied children must be given special safeguards within the asylum procedure. Guardians therefore need to ensure that their needs are addressed & rights respected throughout all steps.
📔@EURightsAgency & EUAA have released the latest in a series of Practical Tools for Guardians. The publication focuses on translational procedures to help guardians of unaccompanied children navigate the Dublin procedure, relocation & family reunification.

Thank you for the courage to compromise.
Today’s @Europarl_EN#MigrationEU vote is a big achievement.
We will be able to better protect
our external borders, the vulnerable & refugees, swiftly return those not eligible to stay, with mandatory solidarity between Member States.
After nearly a decade of blockade, the @Europarl_EN has voted to adopt the Pact on #Migration and Asylum - the complete overhaul of EU migration laws.
It is done.
Europe will manage migration in an orderly way, and on our terms.
History made.
We have delivered a robust legislative framework on how to deal with migration and asylum in the EU.
It has been more than ten years in the making. But we kept our word.
A balance between solidarity and responsibility.
This is the European way.
Dreaming of home. 🏡💞

On #InternationalWomensDay#IWD2024, the EUAA recognises the remarkable strength & resilience of 👩👧👧 refugees worldwide.
Their journey to find safety & protection is marked by immense hardships, highlighting the need for tailored support within the asylum & reception procedure.
The @EUAsylumAgency is present in 17 locations across Belgium, w/ almost 80 personnel supporting authorities w/ their asylum & reception needs.
It was a pleasure to meet @FedasilBelgium's leadership at the arrival centre in Petit-Château 🇧🇪 to discuss enhancing our cooperation.
