In March 2021, Georgia and Moldova joined the EMN as observers. The working arrangement represents an important step towards reinforced cooperation in the areas of migration and asylum
During 2018 and 2019 Georgia and Moldova expressed interest to join EMN as non-voting observers, funding their own participation and in the beginning of the year 2021, the European Migration Network welcomes for the first time countries outside the European Economic Area.
The working arrangements establish the conditions of the administrative cooperation between the European Commission and Georgia in the European Migration Network that accommodate both current and future co-operation needs.
As part of EMN, Georgia and Moldova will: participate in the exchange of information in the field of migration and asylum, benefit from the expertise of the network in developing their migration management systems and inform their general public about EU migration developments.
