Summary/Abstract: The European Commission’s(EC) proposed reform of the Schengen area isto be the EU’s response not only to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic but also to recent attempts to destabilise the Union through forced migration. The envisaged regulations are to enable the Member States directly affected by the instrumentalisation of migration, including Poland, to react more flexibly to emerging crises. Some of the Commission’s proposals may, however, renew the disputes over overall EU migration policy.
