After a historic agreement was reached on the Pact on Migration and Asylum, work has started to translate the large and complex set of legislative acts into an operational reality over the next two years. This will be a common endeavour, with the Commission supporting Member States every step of the way. The\u00a0Common Implementation Plan for the Pact on Migration and Asylum,<\/strong>\u00a0adopted by the Commission today, sets out the key milestones for all Member States to put in place the legal and operational capabilities required to successfully start applying the new legislation by mid-2026. In addition, the EU Agencies will also provide both operational and targeted support to the Member States throughout this process.<\/p>\n

The Common Implementation Plan provides a template for the\u00a0National Implementation Plans\u00a0<\/strong>to be adopted by Member States by the end of this year.\u00a0<\/strong>It groups the legal, technical and operational work into\u00a010 building blocks\u00a0<\/strong>to focus and facilitate the practical implementation efforts.<\/p>\n

All building blocks are\u00a0fundamentally interdependent<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0need to be implemented in parallel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 10 building blocks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A common migration and asylum information system (Eurodac):<\/strong>\u00a0will support Member States notably with the determination of responsibility and the monitoring of secondary movements. The new Eurodac is the large-scale IT system that will store and process data of asylum seekers. The timely development and entry into operation of the reformed Eurodac system is a critical precondition for the implementation of all the other elements of the Pact.<\/li>\n
  2. A new system to manage migration at the EU external borders<\/strong>: to manage the irregular arrivals of non-EU nationals and setting up fast, efficient and streamlined procedures for asylum and return, as well as strong safeguards. The Screening Regulation, the Asylum Procedure Regulation, and the Regulation on a Return Border Procedure, provide for a harmonised approach. All irregular migrants will be registered and subject to a screening of their identity, security risk, vulnerability, and health. In a second stage, a mandatory border procedure will apply for those who are likely not in need of international protection or present a security risk.<\/li>\n
  3. Ensuring adequate reception standards<\/strong>\u00a0of living<\/strong>\u00a0for applicants in relation to their needs. For example, for applicants for international protection there is earlier access to the labour market (6 months instead of 9 months), physical and mental healthcare and more protection for families, children, and vulnerable applicants. Moreover, the\u00a0Reception Conditions Directive<\/strong>\u00a0has also new tools improving the efficiency of the reception system and helping to prevent secondary movements. For example, Member States will have the possibility of allocating applicants to accommodations and geographical areas, making the provision of material reception conditions subject to actual residence in the accommodation where applicants have been allocated or in a specific area. Furthermore, Member States will have to provide only for basic needs when applicants are not in the Member State where they are supposed to be.<\/li>\n
  4. Fair, efficient and convergent asylum procedures:<\/strong>\u00a0the Asylum Procedure Regulation and the Qualification Regulation streamline the assessment and decision-making process of individual asylum applications across Europe and reinforce the safeguards, rights and guarantees for applicants and beneficiaries of international protection.<\/li>\n
  5. Efficient and fair return procedures<\/strong>: the EU’s migration policy can only be sustainable if those who do not have the right to stay in the EU are effectively returned.\u00a0 The Return Coordinator will play a key role, building on the work already launched to improve joint planning of flights and identification missions including to optimise the use of Frontex support, exchange practices and experience on the joint issuance of negative asylum decisions and return decisions and cooperation on return of returnees posing a security threat.<\/li>\n
  6. A fair and efficient system: making the new responsibility rules work:<\/strong>\u00a0by establishing effective and stable responsibility-sharing across the Union and reducing incentives for secondary movements. For instance, the procedures will be made more effective with the \u2018take back’ notifications. Moreover, there will be new rules in place aimed to prevent abuse of the system (such as the obligation for applicants to apply in the Member State of first entry).<\/li>\n
  7. Making solidarity work<\/strong>: for the first time, the EU has a permanent, legally-binding, but flexible solidarity mechanism to ensure that no Member State is left alone when under pressure.<\/li>\n
  8. Preparedness, contingency planning, and crisis response<\/strong>: helping to build more resilience to the evolution of migratory situations, as well as reduce the risks of situations of crisis.<\/li>\n
  9. New safeguards for asylum applicants and vulnerable persons<\/strong>: increased monitoring of fundamental rights, by ensuring effective procedures while protecting human dignity and a genuine and effective right to asylum including for the most vulnerable, such as children.<\/li>\n
  10. Resettlement, inclusion, and integration:<\/strong>\u00a0stepping up efforts in these areas of. Member States’ efforts for the integration and inclusion of migrants remain indispensable for a successful migration and asylum policy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
