This Wednesday, the European Union managed to close a agreement on the migration and asylum pactwith which it aims to manage the flows of immigrants to its territory in a predictable and orderly manner.

“The Migration and Asylum Pact is in itself a success to the extent that it it’s a step forward regarding the unsatisfactory and unsustainable situation from which we come. From its entry into force, we will finally have a European response to the migratory event and its challenges, especially in crisis situations,” Juan Fernando López Aguilar, president of the European Parliamentary Commission on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE).

It took two days and nights of intense negotiations to finish closing the last obstacles of the complex legislative package that the European Commission proposed in 2020.
