EU extended protection for Ukrainian refugees until March 2027!
The EU Interior Ministers decided on Friday in Luxembourg to extend the temporary protection for fled Ukrainians by March 4, 2027. Over four million Ukrainians benefit from this regulation, which enables the people concerned to remain in the EU without an individual application for asylum. This was reported by Exxpress.at
The EU Commission, headed by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, also found that the extension not only increases the protection statutes, but should also offer a basis for a safe and stable future for the displaced people. The Commission plans to give recommendations for a coordinated transition to expire the temporary protection status, which should contribute to the planning of return and integration, such as Germany.Represation.eu
coordinated transition strategies
A central concern is the establishment of Unity Hubs to support the integration of refugees and to prepare for a possible return to Ukraine. EU Commissioner Magnus Brunner emphasized the need to flexibly react to new developments in Ukraine and at the same time ensure the steadfast support for Ukraine. In addition, the establishment of a special envoy for Ukrainian citizens in the EU was announced.
The Polish Presidency has already initiated a strategy for gradually abolishing temporary protection as soon as a fair peace has been achieved. This is done against the background that refugee speakers in Austria demand clarity about the future of Ukrainian displaced persons and a quick implementation of the EU asylum package as well as increased returns, as also from Exxpress.at documented.
social challenges
The debate about temporary protection status is not only limited to administrative and legal questions. An application to delete protection status did not find a majority, while at the same time the demands for increased foreign police controls, especially for large Roma families with Ukrainian passports. This topic is increased primarily by reporting on large Roma families from western Ukraine, which are entered to Austria as displaced persons, although their region of origin is not directly affected by the war.
In this context, Salzburg's LH deputy Marlene Svazek calls for an immediate suspension of the Ukraine Disulterary Ordinance, which makes the complexity of the situation clear. The extension of the temporary protection is an emergency mechanism of the EU that was originally adopted in 2001 against the background of the displacement at the Western Balkans and now offers decisive protection for millions of refugees.
