Year 2022
The Annual Report on Migration and Asylum 2022 provides an overview of migration and asylum-related developments and debates in Spain between January and December 2022. In 2022, the war in Ukraine was the defining issue, necessitating new regulations (for example, the Regulation on Displaced Persons) or the adaptation of existing systems (for example, in the area of integration). Furthermore, a comprehensive reform of the relevant legal foundations brought about changes and facilitations in labour migration, among other things, and measures were taken to address the shortage of skilled workers in Spain. In addition, the high number of applications for international protection and the reaching of capacity limits in basic care played an important role, especially in media reporting.

Skills Mobility Partnerships (SKM): solución innovadora a la escasez de competencias en la UE.
Demographic changes, technological development and the growing mobility of workers have presented challenges across EU and non-EU countries. The new joint EMN-OECD inform explores challenges and benefits of innovative approaches and initiatives, such as SMPs.
Accompanied children’s right to be heard in international protection procedures
This inform provides an overview of the implementation of the right of accompanied children to be heard in international protection procedures and presents their chal lenges, good practices and lessons learnt in guaranteeing that right.
Attracting and Retaining international researchers
In view of growing labour market challenges, the European Union (UE) and its Member States have increasingly considered migration as a means to address the issue of ageing populations in the UE, sustain welfare systems and contribute to a skilled workforce.
This inform explores challenges and good practices to attract and retain international researchers, and analyses the implementation of the Students and Researchers Directive and relevant national policies, schemes and practices in the UE Member States.
Application of the Temporary Protection Directive (Scope and Registration)
This inform provides information related to the implementation of the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD), triggered in response to the refugee crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. According to UNHCR, as of 4 May 2022, over 5,7 million Ukrainians (mainly women and children) have left Ukraine in search of safety, primarily arriving in neighbouring EU and third countries (including Moldova). This inform relates to the scope of the Temporary Protection Directive, as well as registration of persons fleeing the war in Ukraine. The analysis in this inform is based on contributions provided by 26 Member States.
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.
