Europe’s migration policy is tightening on two parallel tracks. The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, adopted in 2024 and set to take full effect on 12 June 2026, overhauls how member states screen arrivals, process asylum claims, and manage returns. It introduces standardized border procedures, faster decisions for clear‑cut cases, and a new solidarity mechanism designed to share the burden more evenly across the bloc.
