EU Agency for Asylum - EUAA

EU Agency for Asylum - EUAA The European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) is an EU Agency that supports EU+ countries in implementing the rules of the Common European Asylum System.

EUAA is an agency of the European Union that plays a key role in the concrete development of the Common European Asylum System. It was established with the aim of enhancing practical cooperation on asylum matters and helping Member States fulfil their European and international obligations to give protection to people in need. EUAA acts as a centre of expertise on asylum. It also provides support to Member States whose asylum and reception systems are under particular pressure.

Asylum authorities need practical ways to assess and improve the quality of asylum procedures. Sharing experience and reflecting on how cases are handled can help identify good practices, address areas for improvement, and support more consistent approaches.

On 3 September, the EUAA and Lithuania’s Migration Department brought together case officers and members of the Legal Division in Vilnius 🇱🇹 to discuss the findings of a Quality Feedback Report, following an assessment of asylum interviews and decisions using the EUAA Quality Assurance Tool.

Through practical examples, group discussions and case-study exercises, participants explored the findings, exchanged experience and reflected on how the quality of asylum procedures can be further strengthened. The exchange also provided an opportunity to discuss practical experience in the context of implementing the Pact on Migration and Asylum.

Thank you to our colleagues at the Migration Department, the EUAA Quality Assurance Service Desk team and all participants for their engagement, contributions and cooperation.

The EUAA launched an analysis on displaced Ukrainians in Germany.

Germany is currently the main host country for people displaced from Ukraine. Between 2023 and early 2026, about 1.650 respondents participated in SAM—UKR and shared their experiences and future intentions.

👥 Key insights:
✔️ Most are of working age
✔️ Most women, but the gender gap is narrowing with more men arriving in recent years
✔️ Increasingly, whole families are present in Germany
✔️ Most come from Eastern regions of Ukraine, including Kharkiv and Donetsk
✔️ Almost half indicated plans for relatives or friends to join them in Germany

📊 These insights help policymakers better understand family situations, integration needs and future migration dynamics.

👉 If you are from Ukraine and living in Europe, your experience matters.

EUAA оприлюднило аналіз щодо українців, переміщених до Німеччини.

Наразі Німеччина є основною країною, яка приймає людей, переміщених з України.

У період з 2023 року до початку 2026 року близько 1650 респондентів взяли участь у SAM-UKR та поділилися своїм досвідом і планами на майбутнє.

👥 Ключові висновки:
✔️ Більшість — люди працездатного віку
✔️ Переважають жінки, але гендерний розрив зменшується, оскільки останніми роками прибуває більше чоловіків
✔️ Все частіше до Німеччини приїжджають цілі родини
✔️ Більшість прибуває зі східних регіонів України, зокрема з Харкова та Донецька
✔️ Майже половина зазначила, що родичі або друзі планують приєднатися до них у Німеччині

📊 Ці результати допомагають політикам краще розуміти, сімейні обставини, потреби інтеграції, майбутню динаміку міграції.

👉 Якщо ви з України і живете в Європі, ваш досвід важливий.

On 2-3 September, the EUAA brought together asylum officials from across the Western Balkans for the regional training rollout on the ‘Application of Exclusion Clauses to persons undeserving of international protection.’

The application of exclusion clauses in asylum procedures can present complex legal and factual challenges, requiring a clear understanding of the applicable legal framework and careful assessment of the relevant facts and evidence.

The training combined technical legal sessions, practical role-play and exchange of experiences to strengthen capacity to assess potential exclusion cases fairly and consistently, supporting high-quality asylum procedures across the region.

This activity was supported through the EU-funded programme ‘EU Regional Support to Protection-Sensitive Migration Management Systems in the Western Balkans – Phase III.’
