EU Migration Preparedness and Crisis Management Mechanism

EU agencies presented the impact of COVID on migratory flows, migration management, asylum, smuggling trends and returns, and the impact of the situation in Belarus on migratory and asylum related flows. The European, the EEAS, the Council Secretariat, EU Member States and five EU agencies (EASO, Frontex, Europol, eu-LISA and FRA) attended. The network seeks to exchange information on migration trends and ensure continuity with what the Council’s emergency mechanism currently does.
