The European Migration Network was established via Council Decision 2008/381/EC and is financially supported by the European Union.
Its objective is to meet the information needs of EU institutions and of Member States’ authorities and institutions by providing up-to-date, objective, reliable and comparable information on migration and asylum, to support policymaking in the European Union in these areas.
The EMN also serves to provide the general public with such information.
The European Migration Network, coordinated by the European Commission, is a network of National Contact Points appointed in each Member State plus Norway.
The Spanish NCP is composed by experts from the Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migrations, Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, and Ministry of Justice and the General Prosecutor’s Office. It is coordinated by the Deputy General Directorate for Legal Affairs, Secretariat of State for Migrations.

The inform looks at the provision of these measures/activities, including the tools used to provide information, facilitate participation, and assess the evolving needs of the target audience. It includes examples highlighting both effective practices and the challenges countries experience when implementing early integration measures.
