The European Migration Network was established by the Council of the European Union Decision 2008/381/EC adopted on 14 May 2008. Over the past 10 years the EMN has provided up-to-date, comparable and objective information on migration and asylum in the EU, contributing to policymaking and public debate.
During this time, we have produced comparable, EU-level research on a wide range of topics across all aspects of migration and asylum policy, from labour migration, to integration, family reunification, international protection, trafficking in human beings and return.
On an annual basis, the EMN Annual Report on Migration and Asylum, has provided a summary and analysis of key migration policies and statistics at EU and national levels, identifying important trends and shifts in migration patterns year on year.
We have also informed policymakers, over the last decade, by gathering valuable information on migration and asylum through the EMN ad hoc query system.
The EMN Asylum and Migration Glossary provides comparable translation of relevant terms in the majority of the official EU languages plus Norwegian, and has evolved over the past 10 years to include ‘new’ terms reflecting recent policy on migration and asylum issues.
