New EMN study explores the application of the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) in 2023

The new study by the European Migration Network (EMN) covers the application of the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) in 2023, shedding light on the challenges and best practices observed across 25 EMN Member Countries

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which precipitated mass displacements from Ukraine into the EU and surrounding regions, the activation of the TPD (2001/55/EC) has been a pivotal element of the EU’s unified response in coordinating responses to large-scale influxes, promoting solidarity and upholding fundamental human rights principles. Importantly, the TPD provided persons displaced from Ukraine with a legal status and associated rights. Given the continuation of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the Council's decision to extend temporary protection until March 2026 has underscored the ongoing commitment to address the humanitarian fallout and ensure continued access to rights for those displaced by the war.
 
The EMN study looks at whether EMN Member Countries implemented any changes in the application of the TPD in 2023 (as compared to 2022) and also aimed to identify continued challenges, as well as best practices.
