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.

Clear, accurate, and accessible communication is essential to helping people understand asylum and migration, particularly in a changing information landscape where misinformation can shape public debate.

Yesterday and today, communication experts from EU+ Member States, Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, EU Agency eu-LISA, European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, and IOM - UN Migration gathered at the EUAA headquarters in Malta for the annual meeting of the EUAA Communication Multipliers’ Network.

ℹ️ Discussions covered national media landscapes, the use of international protection data in public communication, and ways to address disinformation on migration. Participants also explored how emerging technologies, including AI, are shaping digital communication.

By exchanging experiences and sharing good practices, network members contribute to clearer, more informed public communication on asylum and migration across Europe.

Cooperation and the exchange of experiences and good practices can contribute to enhance the protection of the rights of asylum-seeking children, with a focus on their needs and best interests.

Since 2014, the EUAA and Türkiye’s Presidency of Migration Management (PMM) have developed a strong partnership implemented through successive Roadmaps for Cooperation. This cooperation continues under the present EUAA–Türkiye Roadmap (2025–2028), where we support capacity development across asylum, reception and vulnerabilities, temporary protection and resettlement.

Over two days in Nevşehir, Cappadocia, the EUAA welcomed colleagues from PMM, Provincial Directorates of Migration Management (PDMM), EU+ Countries, for a workshop on the protection of the rights of asylum-seeking children. Participants exchanged practical experiences on identifying children’s needs, best interests, guardianship, age assessment, referral and follow-up, and child-friendly communication.

The EUAA launched an analysis on displaced Ukrainians in Germany.

The findings show:
✔️ Employment barriers remain a key challenge, often linked to language issues and recognition of qualifications.
✔️ Return intentions have been decreasing with only a fifth of those in Germany considering returning to Ukraine. Women, older respondents, those unaccompanied or not employed in Germany are more likely to return.

EUAA оприлюднило аналіз щодо українців, переміщених до Німеччини.

Результати показують:
✔️ Бар’єри у працевлаштуванні залишаються ключовою проблемою, часто пов’язаною з мовними труднощами та визнанням кваліфікацій.
✔️ Намір повертатися зменшується: лише п’ята частина тих, хто перебуває в Німеччині, розглядає можливість повернення в Україну. Жінки, старші респонденти, неповнолітні без супроводу або ті, хто не працює в Німеччині, мають більшу ймовірність повернення.
