Summary/Abstract: In recent years, the scale of migration flows in Europe has necessitated additional reforms to control external borders and migrant flows. The European Commission has proposed The New Pacton Migration and Asylum, which is a set of regulations to create a fairer, efficient, and more sustainable migration and asylum process for the European Union. The new Pact agreed between the European Parliament and the Council in December 2023. The aim of this chapter is to set out the objectives of the new Pact on Migration and Asylum and the proposed changes to the migration and asylum system. Analysis of the EU legal acts and literature review are used as main research methods in the chapter. The results show that the new common approach to migration and asylum is based on solidarity, responsibility, and respect for human rights. The proposals set out in the legislative proposals that form part of the Pact include principles on the processing of asylum applications, the introduction of temporary emergency measures for crisis situations, the improvement of the EU fingerprint database for asylum seekers, the introduction of screening, reception conditions for asylum seekers, the creation of a permanent EU resettlement framework, the harmonisation of protection standards and the rights of asylum seekers. As planned, the new rules are intended to increase the efficiency of the European asylum system, which is crucial in the light of the predicted intensification of migratory flows worldwide.
