Summary/Abstract: This paper presents the evidence and experience that underpin the legislative initiatives proposed for migration and asylum. It points to the key challenges in relation to migration faced by the European Union. Since the migration crisis of 2015, the number of arrivals and composition of flows have changed significantly, both between and along the different migratory routes. Additionally, there is significant variation of migratory pressure across countries and in terms of the tools applied to address it. Romania is exposed to migration routes in the present and we identified a number of challenges that prevent the EU’s current system from being fit to address the realities of migration, able to ensure international protection for those in need and effective and humane return of irregular migrants, fair in terms of solidarity and sharing of responsibility between Member States as well as ready for use in times of crisis and situations of force majeure. This article provides an overview of the legislative and non-legislative proposals that seek to address the gaps and inefficiencies identified.
