Ochrona uzupełniająca – nowa forma udzielania ochrony cudzoziemcom
Subsidiary protection – new form of protection of foreigners

Summary/Abstract: A common policy on asylum, including a Common European Asylum System, is a constituent part of the European Union’s objective of progressively establishing an area of freedom, security and justice open to those who, forced by circumstances, legitimately seek protection in the Community. The European Council at its special meeting in Tampere on 15 and 16 October 1999 agreed to work towards establishing a common European Asylum System, based on the full and inclusive application of the Geneva Convention relating to the Geneva Convention, as supplemented by the New York Protocol, thus affirming the principle of non-refoulement and ensuring that nobody is sent back to persecution. The Tampere conclusions provide that rules regarding refugee status should be complemented by measures on subsidiary forms of protection, offering an appropriate status to any person in need of such protection. The approximation of rules on the recognition and content of refugee and subsidiary protection status should help to limit the secondary movements of applicants for asylum between Member States, here such movement is purely caused by differences in legal frameworks.
