The European Commission has finalized two key strategies: the European Asylum and Migration Management Strategy and the EU Visa Strategy. These outline a five-year plan to balance migration management, security, and competitiveness. The asylum strategy prioritizes reducing illegal migration while ensuring protection for refugees and attracting skilled workers. It emphasizes cooperation with partner countries and operational tools to manage migration flows. The visa strategy aims to align policies with geopolitical shifts and security challenges, focusing on three pillars: security, competitiveness, and Europe’s role as a reliable partner. Key measures include digitalizing visa procedures (ETIAS by 2024, full digitalization by 2028), strengthening readmission mechanisms, and creating trusted company lists for faster processing. Both strategies stress maintaining EU values while addressing labor shortages and enhancing economic growth through talent attraction.
