Transition of unaccompanied minors to adulthood
This European Migration Network (EMN) inform examined the particular situation of unaccompanied minors who reach adulthood (majority) in the EU and Norway.
The aim of the EMN inform is to map the measures, structures and systems in place in the EU Member States and Norway to provide transitional support to unaccompanied minors after reaching the age of majority. It explores the situation of all unaccompanied minors reaching adulthood who are classified as unaccompanied minors in the EU Member States and Norway – including, to the extent possible, both those who do and do not apply for asylum.
Bilateral readmission agreements
Little is known about how international international law instruments, including bilateral readmission agreements - influence the return of irregular migrants, including asylum seekers whose applications were rejected. EMN's starting point to contribute to closing this knowledge gap was to update, verify and expand existing information on bilateral readmission readmission agreements by EU Member States and Norway.
Specifically this report examines the implementation, monitoring and evaluation and effectiveness of bilateral readmission agreements signed by EU Member States. It supplements existing data by examining the bilateral readmission agreements that were signed or entered into force in the period 2014-2020 in the EU Member States and Norway, as well as their scope and characteristics in terms of issue linkage.
Secondary movements of beneficiaries of international protection
The purpose of this report is twofold. First, it examines how Member States regulate the transfer of responsibility of a beneficiary of international protection from a first State to a second State, a transfer of responsibility regulated in Art. 28 of the Geneva Refugee Convention and Art. 2 of the European Agreement on Transfer of Responsibility for Refugees (EATRR) which refers to the transfer of responsibility for the issuance of the travel document for refugees.
And secondly, the report explores the situation in which beneficiaries of international protection, already recognized in a first State, submit applications for international protection in a second State.
