The European Union’s revised migration policy is now in effect, marking a significant shift in how the bloc manages incoming migrants and asylum seekers. The new rules introduce stricter border controls and faster deportation procedures for those deemed ineligible for asylum. Member states will be required to share responsibility for asylum seekers, though opt-out options remain for countries unwilling to participate fully. The policy aims to deter irregular migration and address concerns about the strain on national resources. Critics argue the measures may violate international law and undermine the right to asylum, while supporters claim they are necessary to manage migration flows effectively. Implementation will be closely watched to assess its impact on both migrants and EU member states. The new framework includes a screening process for all arrivals within the first 12 weeks.
