New EMN Inform on separated and missing migrants

New inform presents Member States approaches to prevent family separation and search mechanisms for missing migrants

All reporting Member States have measures and/or procedures in place to prevent the separation of third-country nationals from their family members when they first come into contact with authorities within their territory.

At the same time, reporting Member States do not have procedures specifically designed to search for missing third-country nationals. When a third country national is reported missing, the national competent authorities follow the general procedures that apply to any missing person, except for the occasional involvement of migration authorities.
