ICMC Europe

Over the last years the European Union (EU) has widened its asylum and migration policy not only at EU level, but also in its external relations with regions and countries outside the Union.

ICMC Europe, together with its partners, follows the policy-making and legislative process in asylum and migration and advocates with the European Commission and European Parliament.  In addition, ICMC Europe identifies specific possibilities to develop migration related programmes in countries outside of the European Union with EU financing.
