EMN Workshop Germany: Ukrainian refugees in the EU

The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the ongoing war has resulted in the largest refugee movement in Europe since the Second World War. In response, the EU activated the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD) on 4 March 2022 for the first time since its adoption in 2001, thus providing a framework to quickly respond to the mass displacement of Ukrainian people. The EMN-Workshop will shed light on the challenges and best practices of the application of the TPD in Germany, the Netherlands and Lithuania. One of the key issues to be discussed at the workshop is what comes after the TPD. Currently, the TPD is due to expire in March 2025, raising the question of whether other types of residence permits will be available in Member States. What scenarios are there to ensure the continued protection of Ukrainian refugees?

EMN Germany would like to cordially invite you to the virtual workshop on 12 June 2024 on the topic "Ukrainian Refugees in the EU: Access to rights under the Temporary Protection Directive and the way forward".
