EU extends protection status for Ukrainians by 2027 - return plan presented!
Österreich - The EU Commission has announced today that the temporary protection status for Ukrainian refugees should be extended by March 4, 2027. This decision follows the ongoing challenges with which many Ukrainians are confronted after they have fled to the EU. Over 4.25 million people from Ukraine have already applied for protection in the EU, including 81,225 in Austria. These numbers show the great humanitarian crisis that was triggered by the conflict in Ukraine.
Together with the Ukrainian Vice Prime Minister Olexij Tschernyschow,EU migration commissioner Magnus Brunner presented a comprehensive plan to return and reintegrate refugees. "We have to ensure that the needs of the Ukrainians in the EU are adequately taken into account," said Brunner. The plan includes measures such as the establishment of information hubs in several EU member states and the appointment of a special envoy who should take care of the interests of the Ukrainians. In addition, access to other legal residence titles for Ukrainians should be facilitated, which enables them to better integrate into the society of the Recording.
return and reintegration
A central element of the return plan are exploratory visits to those willing to return and programs for voluntary return, which are to be carried out in close coordination with Ukraine. These measures aim to support the integration of many Ukrainians who have already acquired language skills, have found jobs or have completed training. The exchange of information between the EU countries and Ukraine is to be reinforced by a newly established "solidarity platform", which serves to optimally bundle experiences and information.
The EU is working on a new common European return system in parallel to these developments. This was introduced to improve people's repatriations without a residence and ensure that these procedures are carried out while the fundamental rights. The proposal stipulates that only about 20 percent of the people who have received a return decision actually leave Europe. Therefore, the plan is also geared towards a more effective implementation of returns. This includes the mutual recognition of return decisions and the introduction of return centers in third countries.integration as a management task
The integration of migrants is still seen in the European Union as a two -sided process in which both migrants and the admission companies must be obliged. The EU supports national governments in creating and implementing integration policy by a "multi-stakeholder" approach. The action plan for integration and inclusion 2021-2027 includes measures to promote inclusion in areas such as education, employment and access to health care.
The successful implementation of these measures will be crucial to counter the challenges in the integration of migrants in Europe. A strategic framework is created that addresses both migrant -specific needs and the requirements of the recording company. The EU has recognized that migrants' contributions are invaluable for the communities and actively promote them through financial support and further resources.
The next steps in connection with the new return system are the decisions of the European Parliament and the Council after the proposal will replace the existing framework of 2008. With these measures, the EU hopes to comprehensively improve the integration and return of migrants.
