The European Commission’s legislative proposals in the New Pact on Migration and Asylum: Study requested by the LIBE Committee, European Parliament

This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy
Department for Citizens’ Rights and Constitutional Affairs on
request of the Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties and
Justice, aims to provide a detailed mapping and analysis of the
central legal changes and issues characterising the five main
legislative proposals accompanying the Pact on Migration and
Asylum, presented by the Commission in September 2020. The
legislative instruments under consideration include a new
Screening Regulation, an amended proposal for an Asylum
Procedures Regulation, an amended proposal revising the
Eurodac Regulation, a new Asylum and Migration Management
Regulation, and a new Crisis and Force Majeure Regulation. As a
second step, the study provides a critical assessment of the five
proposals as to their legal coherence, fundamental rights
compliance, and application of the principle of solidarity and fair
sharing of responsibility enshrined in Article 80 TFEU.
