New Pact on Migration and Asylum

On September 23, 2020, the European Commission adopted the New Pact on Migration and Asylum after consultations with the European Parliament, member states, and various stakeholders. The New Pact covers all the different elements required for a comprehensive approach to migration. Specifically, the New Pact recognizes that no member state should bear disproportionate responsibility and that all member states should contribute to solidarity on a consistent basis.
